Perplexing solution found, bike is now ready to be a fishing machine

I'm going to bet you'll regret having the rods vertical. Tree limbs.

I'm not a bike rider, but the rigs I've seen all carry the rods horizontally, with tips to the rear. Many have the rod butts right at the front stem, with the rods passing under the seat on either side. Up to four rods can easily be hauled this way.

I'd also strongly recommend getting some of those mesh rod bags that slip over the rod and line guides to keep lines from getting caught in anything.
