I have these for kayak fishing:
Daiwa saltist 30 on Calstar grafighter 800 L for iron. 65 # JB spectra
Daiwa saltist LD 30 2 speed on a Calstar grafighter 800 m for trolling, and live bait 65 # JB w a top shot of 40lb Seaguar.
Abu Revo inshore on a calstar 196. 65 # JB.
They all work well for me, its all preference you have to spend a million dollars to find the right gear all my friends swear by Avet and Shimano, every one that I tried just didnt feel right. tackle whore yourself out buy used gear find what works then go buy it new, and sell off the stuff you dont use.
