I have done this with 4 and 6 schedule 40 tubes and transported rods this way to nc and florida many times no issues.
Pvc rod tube roof rack.
Lastly i had considered making a rod holder using outdoor rated wood and hardware.

With the extra length i can put four more reels in backwards for a snug total of eight.
Fishing rods can measure to as long as 8 ft and private vehicles are not typically suited for storing such fishing rods.
How do you attach your pvc diy rod carriers to your roof rack.
I used 8 1 2 of the 10 pvc pipe.
To build this rod holder you ll need a ten foot piece of 2 inch diameter schedule 40 pvc pipe that will serve as the outer shell though you can easily make a longer version for switch spey or euro nymphing rods by adding another piece of pipe using a coupler.
Apart from roof rack fishing rod holders you can also opt for hitch mount types that you can attach at the back of your vehicle.
My longest rods are 7 and i could have used around 7 8 for the pipe staggering the four rod reels in the door end.
