As far as multi-piece rods staying together - 99.5% of the time, I find the issue to be the method used to assemble the sections. Each section should be joined at a 90 degrees, gently pushed to the stopping point, turned 90 degrees to proper alignment and THEN snugged up. Reverse the process for disassembly. Every 2-3 hours during the day, check the sections to ensure they are snug.
BTW, there is a HUGE difference between snug and tight ... learn it and the issues related to disassembly will also lessen.
