Is it a two piece?

To restore proper balance, you have to add many times the weight of the ferrules to the butt. This increase in weight coupled with only a slight increase in stiffness decreases the overall sensitivity of the rod.

There are still some very nice travel rods out there though. They do have their place and I wouldn't hesitate to use one if I weren't too lazy to go crawling through the brush.
