Is a Penn 15 too small?

Hey all,

I've got some incentive points to burn at work and I was think about getting a reel to use on the kayak. There's really only a limited selection of reels, so I don't get to be picky about sizes. I was thinking about trying a Penn Squall Star Drag 15 for flylining, deadsticking, and general medium-sized tasks. The furthest south I fish is Dana Point, so I wouldn't be actively targeting yellowtail and I have a Daiwa Sealine-40 to fit that category anyway.

Is a Penn 15, rated to hold 190/20# mono, a useful kayaking reel? I searched around a bit and it doesn't seem like many favor the smaller star drags, but most of those conversations were based around an interest in YT.

If you guys use conventional non-levelwind reels this small what do you use them for and how have you line'd them.

Thanks in advance for the advice,

Dave
