spray some reel magic or wd-40 in the seam let it sit a couple of minutes then it should pull apart no problem. I learned a trick from an old timer pier fishing he told me to rub where your nose meets your forehead then rub that finger on the rod insert and they will never stick together 20+ years later still doing that and my rods don't stick together!!

I had a custom made 10' flyrod not come apart  for 2 years. I drive a van so it was no prob transporting it. Tried one day & it came apart.  Next time Try 2 guys w/ a hand each on both section . DO NOT  TWIST. You will weaken & fracture the fibers.

Nose trick is the man.
