The twisting and slipping on 2-piece rods is something you get when you fish lures like a pencil popper. The whipping back and forth will loosen the top piece no matter how good the fit is at the ferrule.
Just from looking at where the two pieces fit on the factory 1204, if space isn't an issue, some epoxy and a finishing wrap will make it a one-piece that even a Lami engineer would have a hard time telling from a true one piece.
