Default Re: New Specialty rod for Kayak Anglers

The roller guides do distribute the load and decrease drag. The short rods are VERY flexible. Load is distributed all the way through the reel seat and to the tip of the butt which is why you don't want a rod with a butt-piece added on. I bought an 8'6" Shimano TLD series rod and could not extend the butt because it was just a piece of solid added on.
