Is a 6’-6’6” rod too short for a 14’ kayak? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

6’6” is the longest rod I own.

It also depends on the type of kayak and seat position. My Kraken has several positions. If I'm all the way forward a 6'6" rod is fine, but when my seat is back it's very difficult cross over the bow.

Yes... I use three footers for that matter.
