Sounds like you've got it figured...

But here's a way that can be fairly versitile...

The basic rod case shown IMHO is the most convenient way to carry a rod [you can get single ones].

The pvc is for an extra tip if you happen to have one.

The end of the case has been cut off and a pvc adapter has been added along with a threaded plug... [these tubes all seem to come with a thin pvc inner tube].. This allows you to add another pvc tube whatever length and diameter you want.

This addition allows you to carry your tube full length...sort of a handy thing when hopping from lake to lake...actually the original case where you break the rod down is pretty darn handy anyway....you can toss them in boats, pickups, etc and they are well protected.

By using your case like this it protects the whole thing from the elements ...dust, rocks...if you decide to strap it to a roof carrier.
