I find that with a long rod, I make a bigger mess on the deck of my yak with all the line and such..... a shorter rod seems easier to me to manuever....I usually drag the sabiki with the drift, keeping the sabiki angled away with the drift, therefor, not having to switch from side to side(not having the sabiki under the yak)....that's just my experience though....it's not for everybody....
