Someone once stole the metal rods that helps move a sink plunger up and down from a restroom in my work building

Thats wild haha there’s parts of my state like that, just not where I live. 
 

I do agree that multi piece rods are much easier to transport when you drive a car, especially a sedan.

The Japanese have this thing about saving face in tight spaces, and most of their fun travel is on trains. That's why they love multipiece and telescoping rods. 

One of my earliest purchases from Japan - they make this glass fly rod also in 10-pc. 

It's one of the better small rods out there. 

 Here's another use - bikefish - park at the high bridge on the State FM road, then bicycle to the county road crossings where you're not allowed to park a car. 

I recently added this Smith telescoping rod, which also fits in the half frame bag, and is even more convenient, since you can haul it rigged and ready to fish. 

 

"Texas brook trout" will take this

as readily as they will this
