8ft vs. 7ft Live Bait Rods for YT ? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I like the 7ft for bait. Don't really cast bait so 7ft works for me. But as all have stated, make sure it clears the bow.

Thanks for all the replies. I learned a lot. Glad I asked, before spending the cash.

I've been looking at the Seeker Pinhead rods, 7' and 8', 12-30lb, 15-30lb & 15-40lb deckhand models. They seem light, strong and good for livebait. I'll be buying 2 and now I need to match them up with Avet reels. Its only v more money right ?

I'll be making a better decision now. Thanks for the advice
