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.

Live bait sharp hooks and timing is all you need
