I'm thinking some 4" or larger pvc pipe with screw on caps, put some foam in the pipe ends, make just long enough so the rod doesn't slide end to end (and the foam to cushion), if the rods are 2 piece, etc., might be even better with a shorter piece of pvc pipe, and the 2 pieces of rod strapped together with a rubber band, then insert in the pipe, screw the cap on, done. would take a hit to break a rod in that, larger or smaller pipe depending on if a reel is attached or not, etc. You can find travel cases for fishing rods at cabelas and bps (search Plano airliner rod case).

GO BIG ORANGE !
I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.
