REEL QUESTION - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I've been using a grandwave 30 as my bait reel for 2 years now (after fishing it for a year prior) and it just keeps working despite almost no care and a few good dunkings. That reel has held up against YT and big BSB just fine. Casts great. The handle did eventually break on me but it was easy to replace (the sealine handles fit fine). I have Daiwa sealines, saltigas, saltists, and the grandwave and they are some of the most durable reels I've used. If only the saltigas had an adjustable clicker drag.
