I want to ship a 7'6" rod to a friend. Any suggestions how to do this safely and sensibly? I do not have a shipping tube yet. Thanks.

Make sure that it is amply insured. Rod building forums are full of horror stories about shipping conveyers eating rod tubes.

Vac-system tubing used for central vacuum home systems is the PVC you're looking for. My mail order rod blanks get shipped in them.
