Sealine X50HV or Penn 320 GTI for surface iron? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Do you have the internal brake collars installed? Maybe start with both sets installed, then after you get the hang of it, drop down to one and then eventually none as your thumb gets "educated". That's how I learned to do it.

I think the 50 is too wide to make a nice surface iron reel. The 40 is better and that's what I use.

Taming spectra is hard, you might start out with mono as someone has already mentioned.
