2) I have the rod gloves in different colors so it's easy to pick out which rod is which.
3) I like to leave certain rods setup for certain presentations (ie: Lindy rig, slip bobber, 3-way with slinky weight, etc). The rod glove slips over these setups and keeps things from getting tangled.
They are pretty cheap (under $10 IIRC) and a good way to keep things organized.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly.
I don’t have tubes in my rod locker, so I’ve got every rod in a sock.
I like to keep my reels in one of these neoprene covers too, protects them from getting scuffed and banged.
