You want a narrow spool reel for casting jigs , and could double as your bait stick. Salstist makes a narrow reel in abou that size I believe, maybe a little smaller. You don't need anything longer than a 7' rod unless you're on a boat, so the rod will be fine but I would get a fast action quick taper rod for more bend when you cast, so that you can snap those casts. If you have the money, I'd get two set ups so that you are not constantly changing out jigs, for bait rigs, etc... I have a lowrance mark 4 on my revolution. It's a dual frequency fishfinder as well as GPS/chartplotter. I would definitely recommend you get a combo vs having a fishfinder without GPS or vice versa. My mark 4 is black and white but the greyscale quality is pretty good. I have no experience with colored units. Also if you decide to install the transducer and unit yourself , do a little research on this forum on where/how to mount the transducer . There is probably a specific thread for your kayak.
