While I have not lost a reel, I have the 10' Tica 2 piece with a Penn 6500 and I noticed immediately when mating them that it is a tight squeeze to get the reel in the seat then you only get about one turn to tighten the ring. What I have found with that rod, though is that if I don't check the two rod pieces are firmly together every 25 or so casts, eventually the two pieces work themselves apart.
