I pull crankbaits or drift with jigs from a kayak much of the year. I found that pulling more than 2 crankbaits at once makes for a lot of tangles, especially on turns. Your results may vary. I use 6'8' - 7' medium action rods with line counter reels and 15/8 lb braid with 4'-5' flurocarbon leaders in 8 lb to 14 lb test depending on water clarity or the presence of stripers and catfish. A small swivel between the braid & flurocarbon cuts down twist. Snaps on the working end of the leaders makes changing lures & untangling lines easier.
Drifting jigs, I use the same medium action rods out the back with bigger & heavier swim jigs (1/8 oz head with a 3"-4" body). In the front rod holders I use 9'-11'Sam Heaton jigging poles with 6lb. HiVis line tied to 1/32 oz. jigheads dressed with BG Baby Shad or Fin-S-Fish bodies).
I haven't tried pushing cranks yet, thought about it, but haven't done it yet. I'll probably push & pull at the same time, just to say I did it.
I hope this helps.
