Maybe because golf clubs are only 3 1/2 feet long? A 42 to 45 inch golf club fits in any car trunk.

Unless you are willing to get porked on shipping , about the only one piece rods over 8 feet you can get are the locally sold Lamis and Batsons.

I'll take a 2 piece Century over a one piece Lami all day long. I also think the 2 Piece CTS are fine peformers. Like the Centuries , I'd prefer a 2 piece CTS over a one piece Lami but I'm waiting to see if the CTS thin profile and thin wall structure proves to be durable.

Other than my XRA 1205 , All my rods are 2 piece now. The newer ferrels never represent a problem for me. I will admit I have had problems with older 2 piece Lamis where the ferrels tend to twist in use but the modern machined ferrels lock up tight and don't move if they are kept clean and put together properly.
