A lighter rod doesn't mean you can't have backbone. I like my crankbait rods to be moderately stiff in the middle and have a flexible tip. With the end of the rod being able to flex you won't rip the hooks out when a fish grabs the crankbait. One piece rods provide more sensitivity, you will be able to feel the difference between a rock and a bite, and you don't have to worry about the end of your rod flying in to the drink.
