maineman Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 Ok i bought a shimano symetre 2500, the most i ever payed for a reel ! Now i have the money saved up for the avid avs70mf,the most i ever payed for a rod!will i be getting a lesser rod if i go with a 2 -piece rod .I have only owned 2-piece cheaper rods so when i transport them in my car it has no problem(corolla). The pickup is no problem .I pretty shore if i am care full i can fit a one piece 7 ft. in the car.Whats your thoughts ? Which would you buy? Thanks! :-? Quote
kLuo Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 definitely the 1 piece. you should never buy a 2 piece unless you absolutely have to. you want to have the best sensitivity possible, and if you are spending the most you have ever spent on a rod, you should not waste the money on a 2 piece.

Super User dodgeguy Posted February 27, 2010 Super User Posted February 27, 2010 i can fit a 7-6 flipping stick in my kia rio. Quote
uicdent11 Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 1 piece for sure. The 7' MF is a great all-around stick. If you are going to throw a lot of weightless plastics, jigs, and tx rigs then you could also look at the 6'8 MXF. Either way you will love your new setup. Quote
adclem Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 The 1 piece for sure and the 6' 8" MXF rod is an awesome rod. I prefer it over the 7' MF any day. Later, Quote
tritz18 Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 One piece,I have an avid and fits perfectly in most cars. You want the most sensitivity and one piece will provide that. Quote

maineman Posted February 28, 2010 Author Posted February 28, 2010 One piece it will be ! Thanks for the advice!!! :) :) Quote
Super User Dan: Posted February 28, 2010 Super User Posted February 28, 2010 I'm not truly convinced that a one piece is drastically more sensitive than the same rod in a two piece version but if possible, I'd go with the one piece. In the case of a Corolla, it's definitely possible. Put the back seat down or rest the handle in the back seat and put the tip between the seats up into the front seat or dash. Quote
