Penn fathom lever drags are solid yo-yo reels. I have a 25n and a 40n both two speed. Tons of power, never have to worry about anti reverse, drag, etc. Two speed reels aren’t very necessary on a kayak but if you ever fish on a boat, you can take advantage of it. I just bought my 40 for $170 out the door. A reel capable of taking a cow bluefin, but also very good reel for yo-yo Fishing yellowtail. For rods, so many options but something between 6’6”- and 7’6” and rated for somewhere between 30-60lbs. Glass, graphite, composite, just depends what you like.
