French term or phrase: cannes deux brins
Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could help with the translation of 'brins'?

It is in the description of a fishing rod. It is obviously a fishing rod with two 'brins'. Does it mean 'two-piece'?

The full sentence is: "Composée de deux cannes deux brins et de deux cannes quatre brins, la nouvelle série de cannes XXXX est une gamme spécialement étudiée pour...."

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Thank you!
