I have some 8-1/2' rods that I keep in the storage tubes. The rod guides will get hung-up going in and coming out, especially on spinning rods. I just started using nylon rod protector sleeves, and these help out immensely. See

I have found that with spinning rods if you put a little pressure on the opposide of the guides as you slide them in it makes it much easier. No damage to the guides at all.
