Here's a way you can decide for yourself.
Buy a nice one-piece rod. Place it in your rod locker incorrectly, so that when you shut the door, you now have a two-piece rod. I guarantee you will wish you still had a one-piece rod. Question answered. But seriously, two-piece rods are good if you're short of storage space or travelling, but if you have room (and can keep from breaking it...see above ) ...ALWAYS go with a one-piece. Just think..."opposite of women's bathing suits."

1 piece! They're more sensitive and don't come apart when cast or fighting a fish like 2 piece rods will do! But if you travel a lot, or don't have a truck, than get 2 piece. They're much easier to store!

If you have the room definately get a 1 piece. If not, the 2 piece are still a good option.

A quality 2 piece rod will be just as sensitive as a one piece rod it also boils down to how much room you have in your vehicle if a two piece rod fits better than go with that ,

One piece are more sensitive, two piece are easier to transport.

By the way, I used to use a 15', three-piece rod surf-fishing in New Smyrna Beach. Talk about casting a 4 oz. rig a mile...it was great. Well, unfortunately, it must have gotten wrapped around the tip one day, and when I cast, the line snapped, and it took the top 5' section out into the surf. I never got it back.... After that I switched to a 2-piece 12' rod, and started checking my rod tip before every cast hehe. So yes, they can indeed come off if you're not careful.

Until last Friday, I would have agreed with you until I saw it with my own eyes while fishing for salmon. I saw an angler make a cast and the upper-half flew off. I was stunned but you should have seen the look on his face. It was a combination of surprise and embarassment. No, 2-piece rods, if properly assembled, should not fly apart even on the hardest casts. So I am inclined to believe that the poor guy probably didn't secure the two pieces together beforehand. It was an ugly stick. There is no question if space is an issue, then go 2-piece.

Completely agree. Just like a pool stick, the less pieces the better. Buuuuuuuut.......just like my pool stick, my rods are 2 piece. Lack of storage being the issue. My boat is extremely small although it is bigger than the trunk of my car. The 2 places I carry my rods. Since I have a plan to buy a Tracker in the next year- year and a half, I'm going with 1 piece from now on. I'll deal with the carrying issues for a year or so in the meantime

How do you like that rod? Cabelas has them on sale, or maybe it's ended by now

I tried to free a buddies stuck worm in a cold river.... oops the top half fell off. He didnt have it tightened down. Boy i felt like an idiot. So i cast a big ole treble hook for about 15 minutes until I snagged an eyelet. Other than that story, and some fish slime on the hands making breaking down the 2pc near impossible, the 2pc works for me. Admittedly, I do get aggravated when i see the eyelets dont match up quite perfectly.

LOL! Been there, done that! Cast a bait out and notice they're outta whack. Usually that's followed by a "Now how in the....."

Yeah, me too. When that happens, I use that as the opportunity to refasten the two pieces to prevent the top from accidentally coming off. It was a trip to see that guy's top half fly off. If he hooked into a pink salmon, it would have been one heck of a fight.

I have cast the top half of my spinning rod into water and had to retrieve it usually cursing the whole time about needing to check it before an outing and I have seen people just lose their rod mid cast and send it into the water .
