Took my first foray out in a kayak today. Had a blast. Got a sleigh ride courtesy of a 30" Blue using a spook that The Dad Fisherman gave to me last week! I quickly learned that my 9' surf rod wityh its long handle extension itsn't the ticket for a kayak. The extension keeps getting in the way. Any suggestions on a 7 to 8 foot rod with a short handle that will still throw plugs up to about 2.5 ounces and the occasional heavier tin?
