New surface iron reel Qs. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I fish a Revo Toro NaCl 60 size for my iron rod. Has a ton of drag and I've used it to winch in YT, Thresher, and YFT. No yellows over 25# but it handled it no problem. Its also really nice having a level wind for fishing a jig. If you next cast is only as good as how you lay your line from the previous retrieve, a level wind can't be beat.

I plan on adding a Lexa 400 to the mix also, I was playing with a buddies a couple weeks ago and really liked it. the Lexa casts smoother, but the Revo has a better retrieve.
