I'd like to store my rods on the underside of a T top. I was thinking of adding some long plastic tubes to put the rods in but then it will bang around and much of the weight of the rod will be on the guides... right? VS a series of rings where the rod portion sits and guides dont get any abuse, does this make sense? Any other advice or ways to do this? Any thoughts on any aspect of this appreciated!   

When storing rods in tubes I would highly recommend rod sleeves to protect the guides.
