I've not done this for fishing rods, but it works well for a handful of interchangeable ham radio antennas -- stop by Lowe's or Home Depot and pick up 6 or 7 feet of 3" or 4" diameter PVC pipe (exact size depends on the length and number of rods you need to store), a 3" or 4" (depending on pipe diameter) cap, and the same size drain access cap (a 2-piece deal, with a flange that is glued to the pipe and a screw-in stopper). Glue it all together with PVC cement, and maybe use some zip ties to secure it to the tie-downs inside your truck bed. If you want to get real fancy, lightly sand everything after you have it assembled and throw some paint on it.
