split butt-full butt

I had never seen or heard of split butt rods till I recently started fishing again, and started replacing what I sold before returning to QLD from WA in 05. Now other than the obvious visual difference, what if any are the benefits of a split butt over a full butt? Another obvious benefit would be a little less weight.

when you reduce the amount of eva or cork on the handle, it reduces the amount of vibration absorbtion. So ultimately, it's supposed to help you feel the nibbles and bites better :)

Some handles you'll find have very minimal amounts of eva or cork right in the palm of your hand. These ones give you direct feedback from the rod blank but sometimes aren't the most comfortable so its a balancing act of comfort and the very slight difference in feedback.
