Njovin, Please attend the MLPA meeting if you can, it would be a good place to meet some local LJ, and OC kayak fishermen.
But to answer your question, it depends on your budget. As stated, generally, for live bait, I prefer 7ft, 20-50ish rod, with a Shimano TLD 15 lever drag, it is nice when you want to use weighted baits.
These are some nice reels too, I have a few of these, I use for surface Iron, and YOYO: Torium 20/30, Daiwa Sealine 40/50, or you can upgrade to the Trinidad, or Saltiga repectively. (saltiga does not have a clicker)
FWIW, I caught my biggest WSB on a Penn 500, on a BIG 5 $30 7ft rod. So if money is tight, that is a good start.
