I own both types, have Lami and Rainshadow(new this winter-thanks again Mike) one peice rods while my 2 piece are St Croixs. I havent had any problems with the 2 piece coming apart for any of my saltwater gear, have had that happenwith some cheaper (and much older) freshwater gear. The one piece have always felt crisper when casting but Ive never gone to the trouble of testing both types in the same length/action rod. Transportation isnt a problem for me since due to carpentry Im always driving a truck. But Ive found myself more and more inclined to look at 2 piece rods the last few years with all the talk of gear being stolen around the canal and elsewhere-even fished next to a guy last year at BEll Rd who was wearing a glock due to that. When I fish Im there for the weekend, cant drive ten minutes and be in my own yard where the gear is safe in the back of the truck, so its practical to be able to lock things up and hike the beach with a rod of choice.
