The simple answer to your question....in 2019...for an UL rod there is no difference in sensitivity between a 1 piece or 2 piece rod....and with the advent of the spigot ferrule the advantage single piece rods may have had in the bending curve vanished. I’ve owned several high end UL rods from Loomis and Phenix......2 piece and 1 piece....I could tell no difference at all between the 1 piece and 2 piece Phenix Elixir or the 1 and 2 piece Loomis trout rods. Now this subject can often open up a can of worms. If you went back many years ago you could see the difference in the bend of a 1 piece vs 2 piece.....but those days are gone.

I would agree that 2 pc seem as good as 1 to me these days as well ....just mentioned it because it is what it is ...lol

Agree with Alphahawk. Ferrule technology today is light years beyond what it used to be.

FWIW, the standard fly rod today is 4-piece. Most premium fly rod manufacturers don't even make 2-pc rods anymore. If they do, it's the lower-end models.

Usually glue 2 pc rods to make one. Works just as well as 1 pc.

I can tell no difference in the midrange priced rods. My 2cts.

Obvious advantage of course would be ease of transportation and storage of the 2 pc. over the 1 pc.

I agree that the sensitivity and any strength issues from being a 2pc would be basically non existent on modern day rod designs.
