Revo Toro 50HS - Rod Recommendations for Kayak Fishing? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Has anyone used this reel while kayak fishing?

I just loaded this Revo Toro 50HS up with 65lb braid. I was going to put it on my Shimano Teramar WC Inshore rod (7'6" MH/XF), but I have an Avet SXJ on that rod right now.

I'm wondering if I should get a new rod, maybe a beefier rod for this reel? I think it might have over 200yds of 65lb braid, and has max 22lb drag. Any advice on what would pair well with this reel? I'm thinking the usual kayak uses, .. halibut, live bait, maybe Yellowtail and WSB someday? I imagine it would be ok for kelp and bass also, with the braid on it?

Thanks for any tips.

I have the exact same real spooled up with 50lb power pro and paired up with a Turners California Inshore rod MH 8' that I use for Chucking swimbaits into the kelp and also when I'm surf fishing. I had no complaints and you can't beat the price. Pulls those Calicos out of the kelp with ease.
