get a avet sx or sxj for your light duty stuff and and a mxj, without mc cast for your bigger gamefish...just learn how to cast and you won't need it.

I would go with mxj fill that baby up to the top with 65lb braids. What kind of line do you have on your torum 20? You can use that to on the kayak

JX or for even more, JX Raptor. You can grow into those reels, can handle anything you throw at them on a kayak from Marlin on down. Thread it with 80lb or 65lb Spectra.
If I had to do it again I would skip the SX's or MX's, go straight to the JX class.
Save some money buy blemished, just as good.
From Bill, an official Avet dealer in the factory blemished reels.

I bought recently an EX 30/2 and a JX Raptor. Total cost $730, saved a little in shipping buying 2 at the same time, otherwise each cost $360 and $380 respectively.
These reels are fully warranted by Avet for one year just like the new reels. If you don't mind mismatched colors or a slight scratch, then these reels are operationally just as good as new.
