I have mostly 2-piece rods by St. Croix, Lami. and All Star. I also have a few 1-piece rods, by St. Croix and Lami. I drive a small car, so transporting anything much over 8 feet is a hassle. My favorite of all the rods is a 1-piece 8 foot St. Croix Tidemaster, which casts really sweet, but the 2-piece 11 foot Lami Ron Arra is a damn close second. If my rotator cuff were in better shape to swing an 11 footer for extended periods, they'd be dead even.
These are all pretty good rods, and I can't really say I feel a difference based on whether they're 1 or 2 pieces. I've never had a rod snap at the ferrule. In fact, I've only broken rod tips. I've found that this is more apt to happen to the one piece rods, not while fishing but when they're being transported.
Maybe I'd have to try the same rod in 1 and 2 piece versions to notice the difference.
