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.

I like the sleek look of the polished aluminium,but sorry, I think the angle is to steap,trees are one thing to hit they'll have some give but low bridges can be a suck and most importantly drive throus for Dunkin dognuts and Micky D's they range from 8'6"-10' also there should be a notch for the reel,I now in the PIC you posted the reel is to high up due to the rod butt bottoming out on the bed but you don't want that nice reel swaying side to side or hit the back windshield.
I think it's a good looking holder and Im sure you paid good coin for it,I feel bad to post this but a little more research could of gone a long way.
