You can have your pipe as short or long as you want. My T/M is center mounted. The pole or pipe is 3/4 steel electrical conduit from Home Depot. 10 foot cut to what I want. I have bent it up several times. I drilled and tapped for a set screw in sachets of the fittingd. The fittings are standard pipe from Home Depot also. I spider rig and with this set up I can see my jigs running at what depth.
