Bent rod, it is a bit unsteady your first few trips fishing in the kayak, but it soon become second nature. My kayak is quite wide so it is comfortable. The only thing that can be a bit awkward is reaching around behind you to retrieve rods and tackle. I usually drift while squid fishing so I can cover more ground, then when I find a patch of squid I paddle back and drift over that spot.
Kingy, that is a good tip! I will try having a jig out next to the kayak next trip. I always have at least two jigs out, but my second one was under a float a fair way away.
