A longer Koke or steelhead rod is ideal to get a bait to land far enough away not to spook shallow water beans.


You can always land your bait well past the target when sight fishing and work your bait in with the waves.


They are particularly spooky fish, so having the extra length is quite the advantage, being able to place a bait far enough outside of the perception zone is key.


I would also recommend the stretch elastic thread to secure live bait to the hook, it keeps them alive much longer and allows them to move more freely.
