New rod and reel
Well gents, after going to a tackle shop and getting my hands on some reels I decided to go with the avet mxl 5.8. I spooled it with 275 yards of 65lb spectra. Hopefully that will handle anything that I hook up with.

nice setup. rod is a bit long for kayak use IMHO. i'm currently moving over to rods under 7' because of tangle issues with rods behinds me when big fish start doing circles.

Wow, great reel/ rod set up.
Many, many guys use 8 foot rods.

I was told to get a 9 footer for casting surface irons for YT.. not sure if that's such a good idea
I have the mxl 5.8 only with spectra and mono topshot on a 7' calstar, wanted to go with a 100% USA setup, great reel.
