That is a nice case Cabelas is selling. Have you checked DI (or similar places) for a suitcase or possibly even a oversized gym bag of sorts? We have found them to be quite affordable. You can even roll all the rods in a piece of tarp to prevent them tangling up very badly before inserting the roll into the bag. It has worked pretty nicely. While a bag is less protected it does pack nicely where a suitcase won't.
Having the cover that you have over your sled does mean you'd need to carry them horizontally. We have the rod holders on back of our sleds and we use small bungee cords over and under pattern to better secure them better since we do occasionally have one bounce out when crossing the ice since the rods cannot seat as deeply with the inline reels we are now using. It works. So if your cover is a soft cover maybe the back end would work as your 'bungee' if you just went overtop of the rods?
Trial and error and experience. Everyone's situation/set up/gear is different.
Hope you find something that'll work out.
