Two I always have with me - I don't always use them as surface iron setups but both work well for that kinda thing..
Shimano Torium 16 with seeker black classic 8'6 bsc 6485-8 20-40lb
Daiwa Lexa 300 with shimano sojourn 15-25lb 7'6
I use the lexa for bass fishing a lot plastics etc. but heavy enough to huck a surface jig if I want to fish a lighter setup. Cheap shimano big5 rod kicks ass love it.
The torium setup is my go-to surface iron rod. Its more expensive but versatile, i used it fishing bottom recently and while its designed for throwing jigs worked well for that type of fishing.
other good option: daiwa sealine reels with sabre rod from big5 - cheap, will last forever and can be used for bait/surface etc.
Look for versatility in your setups and nothing too expensive as they will get thrashed on the kayak regardless of how careful you are. Once you are more confident in your rig, routine, locations then you can start to get a little nicer gear for more specific purposes.
