B James Kennet Perfection - number of sections
I have seen a couple of examples of a 2 piece and a 3 piece rod for sale both 11 feet 6 inches. We're they available in both options ? Thanks Badger.

I always though that they were similar to a Chapman's 500 or 550, -- 2 cane joints + handle?
The 'Avon Perfection' is 3 equal joints.

Two cane sections and a separate handle is usual, although I'm sure I have seen a three piece rod by Olivers of the same name even though they produced a KP rod in the usual format.

Re: B James Kennet Perfection - number of sections
I have a B.James Kennet Perfection although I believe it may be a late one. It comprises two cane sections of equal length and a separate handle - a fine rod in my opinion which I like enormously. I also have a B.James Avon Perfection which is three cane sections of equal length and this rod has a softer action than the Kennet although some would say perhaps it has a sloppy action. However, I find the Avon Perfection to have a firm and resolute action when playing a decent fish so maybe a bit Jekyll & Hyde.
