JX or for even more, JX Raptor. You can grow into those reels, can handle anything you throw at them on a kayak from Marlin on down. Thread it with 80lb or 65lb Spectra.
If I had to do it again I would skip the SX's or MX's, go straight to the JX class.
Save some money buy blemished, just as good.

I bought recently an EX 30/2 and a JX Raptor. Total cost $730, saved a little in shipping buying 2 at the same time, otherwise each cost $360 and $380 respectively.
These reels are fully warranted by
Avet for one year just like the new reels. If you don't mind mismatched colors or a slight scratch, then these reels are operationally just as good as new.
