Free, Easy way to safely transport fishing rods

I stumbled across an easy way to transport fishing rods when you are moving, or going on long trips. Shipping companies use long, thin, cardboard tubes to ship similar shaped items. The cardboard is thick and very strong, and you can fit five or six rods in each tube. The tubes come in all different sizes for different poles, (mine are about 7 foot). They are light-weight and best of all free, if you ask around for used ones, or if you're not afraid to do some dumpster diving.
