A bit short to get around the bow? I would think 5.5" would be the shortest if want on my kayak.

i used a short stout rod the other day for threshers and while i didnt catch any i learned its pretty inconvenient if you are also using longer rods and you need to lift the line up over the other rods.

I built a panga stick for bounceballing so the line is closer to the yak and not pulling to one side while paddling. It works but is hard to get around the bow, stern, other lines. Also, not mch give to absorb the shock of headshakes.

Verdict? I don't use it anywhere net what I thought I would
