i agree with Chris' comments. you need to loose the bottom of the holder and have a slot for the reel foot stem. That way, short rod, long rod, doesn't matter, they all slide in and "lock" into the slot.

like johnny d said, the angle needs to be much flatter so that you can go under low stuff like tree limbs and dunkin drive thru.

When i made my homeade deal, I busted out some trig (first time since 10th grade) to figure the angle I needed to keep the height of a 10' rod rods at the tip low enough so it wasn't a concern... if i get a chance i'll post a pic.
