Should I order a one-piece, two-piece or retractable rod?
Short answer
It is a blank decision before it is a packing decision. A retractable or multi-piece rod adds ferrules, changes the action, and needs its own tooling; a two-piece is the ordinary compromise.
In detail
Decide it before the sample, not after, because it is not reversible on an existing blank.
