I fished from a kayak for years. Shoulders can take it any more so I moved to a boat. The shorter handle sounds like a good idea for the reason already mentioned about getting it out of the way of your vest. I liked my rods a bit longer though, 7 ft worked well for me. I had a 12’ kayak and needed the extra length to reach around the front of the kayak when landing a fish that wants to take you to the other side
