When I'm in a kayak, my go to rod has become a 7'6" ajing rod, for two reasons. One, it has a wide lure rating of .6-10 g ,which provides great versatility, and two, the length helps with long casts from a seated position.

However, on this particular day, the ajing rod was unavailable, so instead I used a Kuying Teton 6'2" SUL which I talked about here: http://ultralightflyfishing.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=107&t=12406

Started with the little 3.1 g popper. Despite being mid-day, it was aggressively swiped at by multiple large bluegills but only a couple fish hooked up. (on a later day I'd have good success with it on largemouth and pickerel)

The Z-Viber produced a bass but not much else that day.

The third setup was the charm. A 1.6 g red jig head mated to a matching bison [correction: bulldog] colored trout magnet. With a little more weight than a normal TM jig head, it cast great and got down easier. This combo produced several bass and many sunfish. All were loads of fun on the SUL rod, which handled them w/o problem. I'm really beginning to love SUL!
