good beginner setup? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

For kayak fishing in salt water I like to have a good anodized reel, and a rod with a good warranty. I would recommend Avet sx or mx with 50 to 60 lb power pro. Maxima top shot 15 to 25 lb, and Shimano Teramar medium heavy. Thats my opinion.

This is one of my exact setups.. except I have 40lb power pro on an SXJ, with an MH/XF Teramar.

I like the Daiwa Sealine reels, and the Seeker/Calstar setup described above seems like a good value setup. Hmm...
