Home Depot has short (2' I think) sections fairly cheap. Get a couple hose clamps per, zip ties will fail eventually and it might cost you a rod. Make sure you get a large enough diameter pipe to fit your rod butt. Some of mine fit a 1 1/2 pipe, a couple others need 2". So I used a couple of both. A rubber drain coupler makes a nice stem protector for the top of the pipe. You can get 2 protectors out of one coupler, just cut it in 1/2. Comes with hoseclamps too.
