What do yall like for a tog rod from a kayak? I feel like so many jigging rods have huggggeee butt sections, and are uncomfortable to use in a tight space like a yak. I'd like to spend around $100-150...

Spinning or conventional?

Are you dropping lead in current? 

Or using light single jigs?

I've always used my 7'6 tidemaster 

Think it's only rated to 3/4 but it has no problem bouncing a 2 ounce jig all day long 

I like the length to be able to get the line around the tip of back of the yak if the fish goes the wrong way 

Relatively fast action means you don't need huge hooksets to drive the hook home, I used to use a softer rod but found myself being a bit overzealous with my hooksets 

Enough backbone to quickly get the big girls up out of the rocks but a light enough rod even shorts are good fun
