I kayak fish and can had pretty good luck trolling cranks this summer. I would troll a 7' rod and a 9' rod on each side of the kayak at a time using 10# powerpro.
Line 20/6 power pro braid
1/8 and 1/4 oz round head jigs and roadrunners. Some hand tied, some curly tails, some tubes
Speed 0.7-1.0
I will use 8-12 lines depending on the number of hang up.
I just make a long cast behind the boat.
I use a 16',12',8',4.5' on each side and 4-4.5 across the back.

When longlining you can not stop so when you get hung just grab the rod out of the holder and hold the spool ans straighten the hook reel in re-bend the hook and cast back out.
