What models of kayaks have you looked at? Also, to help you out with suggestions: weight, height and what type of fishing.

Fly rod reds are a hoot in the kayak. Best one I got was about 28" but I have not thrown my fly rod since last summer. I need to bring it out again!!!

I was surprised first starting off with the fly rod I never got hooked. I do more damage to myself with topwaters like mirrolures and super spooks. Sitting in a kayak with a big red or trout with a topwater in his mouth and he shakes those treble hooks find your legs quick!!!!
