Reel placement... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

My reel placement for jig and bait rods are slightly different. Placement on a jig rod is further from the butt, slightly past the comfortable position for me. For jig rods I bend my arm 90 degrees level the butt to the back of my elbow and center the reel under the tip of my middle finger. For my bait set-ups I put the butt at the bend of my arm and center the reel in the same place.
