I slid some bicycle tire tube over the U bolts first, to help them grip the rack. On the other roof rack, at the back of my truck, I used electrical tape to tape one of those mop-handle clip bars. I can include pictures if you want.

mine is similiar...
i took 2 2x4's and on one i used the pre-made 3 rod plastic systems, i think made my berkley, that a lot of people have in their boats for stand up racks. I screwed one on each side of the 2x so that held 6 rods, and then i took a "rod saver" rack from bps i think that can hold 8 rods and secured that to the middle.
on the other board i used the foam 6 rod holders from berkley. they hold the rod tips coming from teh tubes.
and between these i have the other end of the rod saver.
With the rack fully loaded I can hold 10 rods easily, and up to 14 with a bit of work.
the rod saver in the middle work great for convench.
I then secured the 2x4s with u-bolts to my factory installed racks.
i can take some pics when i get home if you want.
