It's nice to have but not needed.. I hat caught 60 pound bluefin on a single speed sx with 65 pound braid. A 2 speed makes it easier and faster to bring in however...
Best reel in avet lineup for what your doing is basic jx2. |

I have an MXJ raptor and a JX Raptor. I feel as if I am ready for the world. .

sx raptor
your sx raptor was made for fish up to the 100lb range. You do not need anything else. I use a two speed non raptor JX on trips where I am expecting fish up to 100lbs and it has less drag than your raptor

I would say save your money and buy a standard JX two speed. That's more than enough reel, and It can handle big fish as well. If you have to spend a whole lot of money take a look at the shimano Talica. Amazing reel, you hook a large fish on that...you will be impressed. But I wouldn't use that on your kayak, it's too damn nice....I have though...
