Surface Iron/YoYo Setup - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have to second that thought. Yo-Yo setups are different then Surface Iron Setups. My preferences, but I'd love to hear other people's thoughts.

Yo-Yo - Shorter heavier rod with a torquey reel - Like 6'6" 30-60 lb rod with a Saltist or Trinidad reel.

Surface Iron - 8'+ springy rod (helps casting) and comfortable reel to cast all day Lexa 400/ Tranx 400/500

Keep in mind that a lot of fishing gear is by preference. I like to buy gear for the type of fishing I do most.

+2 here. With my limited history on the subject, I see those two as independent setups. I have a 6'6" XH for yo-yo and an 8' MH for surface casting...
