Mine are 78 1/2 inches apart.I have been traveling down the road since 2010 with long poles and have never had a problem.I could see where it might be a problem with the drift masters not being that tall.How do you have them in your rack,here's mine and pic of what I use to tie the tips together when I go out of town.I also store what I tie my tips together with on one of my rear cleats always there when you need it.Name:  20180207_170045.jpg
