The Kayak Series of Manley Rods were built with the kayak angler in mind. The "Kayak Gold Series" by Manley Rods MRF System itself is a complete game changer in the kayak. It allows the angler to keep the rod butt off his PFD while sitting, but still giving him or her the option of extending the butt to make a long two-handed cast or for added leverage when fighting a big fish.
