Line and reel recommendations for LJ and inshore - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I took my spinning gear out for 1 trip, and kept hitting my knees with the spinning bail.

Maybe I just have a weird seating position where I like to brace myself with my knees bent, or maybe I position the reel/rod in a weird way, but I found the setup to be quite annoying and painful (at least once) when the bail hit me just-right.

After that, I went to a bait caster for all my subsequent kayak trips with no complaints.
