Just Getting Started Rod Length And Gear - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I'm going to safely say that .... as long as the rod tip

can clear the front of the bow when the fish takes off on a power run .... any preferred stix will do.

Everybody fishes different, and has different preferences. You just have to find yours, whatever they may be. Me personally I fish 8' rods, simply because that's what I have. I don't have kayak specific gear, as far as rods and reels go. I use the same gear I use when I go on boats.

Will your 9'-10' surf rods work...? I guess...if that's all you got, they may not be the best for fishing on a kayak but I don't see why it wouldn't work until you figure out what you like.
