Is a Penn 15 too small? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Use the 15 for everything. I've caught a pile on my avet sxj and saltiga 20 and never worried about running out of line. Big thing to think about is small tackle is not a big problem on a kayak because the boat goes with the fish. You can get on top of fish very quickly and turn it into a vertical battle. How often are you fishing deeper then 300 feet where this could become an issue? I see people lugging around huge reels and I think it's hilarious because it's so overkill.
