Need advice on fishing gear. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

One other piece of advice, don't go so big on all of your reels. Small is more comfy, easier to handle, more sporty and cheaper. Many of us on the west coast tend to way oversize our gear.

I agree with the smaller reels. It nice to have some that can handle the big stuff, but you can also find some smaller reels that can easily handle the YT, WSB, and others. Personally I like the TLD15 - 30 type reels, they are smaller, but when put to the test will serve you well.

I also have 2 30h's. They are on deck for an overhaul.
