the ferrule area absorbs more energy then a one piece blank. Micro stress cracks may have been a contributing factor that developed over time causing a failure.
If course design is a factor where one manufactures two pieces are better then others.
An analogy would be a large standing wave in deep water coming towards shore then suddenly breaking due to a shallow bottom. The energy of the crashing wave is focused on that area like that of the ferrule as oppose to the wave gliding in as in a one piece rod.

Had a lami blow up on me a few years back . They asked that I cut the rod where the break was and send those 2 pieces in . Got a new blank . Maybe had to pay some shipping , I forget....
It would be interesting to take a poll of those who broke rods on whether they were using braided or mono line. Seems to me back in the days of only mono this was a very rare event. I know the freshwater largemouth contingent noticed a marked increase in broken sticks when braids became popular. There has to be something to this theory.
