Funny, for too long, I was insisting on two-piece rods. When I went to Alaska a few years ago, however, my fly shop had to really convince me that 4 pieces were ok. Now, I wouldn't dream of buying a two-piece rod.
I have never broken a fly rod. Ever. And all of my current go-to rods are 3- and 4-piece from 3-weights up to 9-weights.
And now I am thinking of adding a 5-piece pack rod to the equation. My 7'6" 4-piece was just a little too long to fit where I wanted in my pack on my recent hikes. [cool]
