I usually leave mine in the rod holders standing up. I put mine in the back of the truck when I went to toledo bend last weekend and scratched the mess out of my reels. Wont do that again without covers on them.

I'm about to make a few "SpecDaddy Dandy Rod Holders" for myself. Stop by my office and I can show you the drawings of them. When I had a bay boat I did snap 2 tips and left one hanging from the drive thru at a Wendys. Now I just stow them in my rod boxes but was never a fan of leaving them in the boat on the floor or in the rod holders

Go to CPI designs and order u some aluminum rod rockets that mount in the truck bed. Hopefully I'll get me one soon. I think they $125 maybe even less

You got to worry about low hanging tree branches too, know a guy that lost a couple by the tip of the rod hanging up in trees and never seeing them again.

The only problem I ever had carrying them in the rod holders was a hook coming loose and making all of the rods a tangled mess.
