How do they get transported? Do you bungee them to the ladder and take the whole works? ;-)
I have taken 9 rods on 3 day offshore trips before. I think I have 6 or 7 stuffed into a rod tube for my Isle Royale trip. But I am planning a water taxi to drop me at 5 different campsites every 3 days gradually working my way around the entire island.
I like 3 rods for most canoe trips which have some travel. Your going in soon MA?

I took 5 rods my last trip to cover all my basis plus an extra if I were to lose one etc. I thought the 5 was too much. Next time I'll go with 3 as 3 of the 5 five I took were in constant use. The other 2 sat in camp. I think someone who takes just one rod is not going on there trip to fish. They are using it as a tool to pass the time or maybe have a fish dinner which is all good too.

I have seen where several guys use PVC........I consider PVC rather heavy. Usually I just get those plastic mesh sleeves and dealee bob the works into the canoe.
If a rod tube is a must I prefer a pre made adjustable made specifically for carrying rods. They are available in different diameters and are actually rather light. Just be careful who you loan them to. I loaned one to a Bass Pro we would all know (has his own show) and it was returned in a decidedly different condition than when it left........but, nothing a few rivets and Mcgiverism couldn't fix ;-)

Unusually we bring 3 a person. One stays in camp with a slip bobber rigged. Two cone out fishing with various set ups, usually a jigging rod and a suggested for trolling. Seems to cut down on the time in the boat spent rigging one rod for multiple fishing styles.
There's always money in the banana stand.

Drain pipe is a lot lighter than regular sch 40. I Tie my poles in with strap and carry them with the canoe. I put some D rings in the curve of the canoe and some eye hooks on the gunnel then some shock cord with plastic hooks. I usually only bring two poles with me. d rings
