The PVC is 1 1/2" which must be slotted or ground down to fit snugly.
1 1/4" is too loose for my liking. The length is personal preference and would depend on your rod's butt length, and also how close you want the end of the holder to be by your side.

Made my rod holders today, the simplest, most useful thing I did to my kayak. Thanks so much for this post.
Do not go too short on the rod holder pipes, try and try twice. Buy the black pipe at Home Depot. Used a plastic Perrier bottle to flare the ends. I used the 1.5in pipe. It is wider and can accomodate a big wide rod blank easier. There is a large amount of material you need to sand/ grind away from the 1.5 pipes, use very coarse paper on your sander (50 or 60) then finish with something finer. Make sure you sand the PVC if you plan on paining it. Flat black came our bitchin!

Hey JB would you rather cut the slots in the pipe or sand it down?
