Re: kayak rod length
Remember, longer rod = longer lever. If you're fishing for something big, keep it under 8ft, preferably shorter. The boat will turn around a big fish that goes under the boat. A very long rod will be more difficult to control unless you have obliques like Arnold the Governor! I fish for wels catfish that go over 200lbs in my river, if I was hauling on a 10ft rod those babies will have me over on the first run!
