Well, that's a good point. However, anytime I've ever seen a rod break, it's always between the grip and the first or second guide - where the rod is stiffest. Most 2 piece rods have the ferule placed above the first guide somewhere in the blank where there can be flex.
If you watch a rod get bottomed out you'll notice that most of the time they actually bend through the grip where the rod is least flexible. JMHO but I don't want a ferule in the least flexible part of the rod.
Just an observation.
