If youre used to spinners there are good ones with live liner or bait runner features that will work well. And cast great too. And save you a learning curve if you're used to conventional reels.
I don't prefer spinners on a kayak. I fight bigger fish from a yak with the rod very low or even rail rod style. Holding the rod so low causes the spinning bail to hit my legs.
The daiwa sealines are great reels. As are the Shimano tld's. If you're sort of experimenting with a conventional some thing like a Penn 500 or jig master will work fine.
Like another poster said, lever drags can be the way to go for trolling live macs. I've been using a Shimano TLD 15 lever drag for a couple years and I'll never troll with a star drag again. Many lever drags cast well but I don't think I've ever cast mine actually, just dropped weighted rigs to the bottom or set the Mac in the water n paddled away to drop it back. Mike
