Mine are broken down in the basement and taken to the lake in the carpeted rod box of the boat. Not in the rod tubes, but in the bottom. I put these Velcro things on the two pieces to keep from accidentally grabbing the wrong tip for the assembly, especially if I do not have them strung up. You can see the Croix in the tubes in there also, an all around back up rod. Same way for bank fishing, except in back seat of truck.
