Is it a spigot or overfit joint, and is it varnished or perdurable finish on the rod? A pair of marigolds can give you a bit more grip. Try not to twist cos you can splinter the carbon... Bit of beeswax on the joint after should stop it happening again.

Phone a rodmaker for some advice would be a good option.

You need 3 people one on each section pulling , one in the middle where rod joins, rolling the joint in a circular motion , works everytime.

That used to happen quite regularly when i had Century NG rods in hot sunny weather.
So I used to submerge the rod from the tip to about half way down the butt section in the lake margins for a few minutes when i packed up.
Always worked!

That is also a possible way of breaking ductape or cable ties if ever
Held against your will.

This has only ever happened to me with Century rods, and that is why I won't use them again. Bloody pain in the arse to separate when you need to leave for work in the morning, submerge for about 15 mins usually does it.
