New guy needs rod suggestions - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Got some reels for sale in the classifieds right now...

Daiwa Grandwave 20 (Fill this with 30lb spectra and short Floro Leader and you got a sweet iron reel) Pair it up to any jigstick (The pacifica sabres with the cork at Big-5 are cheap and they have good action and get the job done - they pair nice with this reel too).

I also got a Daiwa saltist 30 which has 50lb spectra and a topshot of 25lb mono which you could change to heavier if you desire. This would be a great live bait fishing reel. Its got the 4.9 to 1 ratio for cranking power on that big WSB and YT. You can pair it up with any 7' boat rod 20-40 lb with a little bit of a soft tip so you can see what your bait is doing.

Just my 2 cents. The avet sx is a nice reel too, I have a couple.
