Hi John. The guys have posted a lot of good info for you. When I make rods for customers that are specifically meant for fishing on a yak it partially depends on the size of the person, arm reach more specifically. It can also depend on the length of the kayak. I would say that 6-61/2' would be the minimum. I know I don't use anything shorter. And as the guys said a softer tip is important. And also as had been stated lower your price point by axing the gimbal and just go with a mushroom cap. Good luck.
