depends on what you want out of it.

Avet is awesome, doesn't do so well with constant kayak water damage. More of a boat reel though for me.

Sx or Mx for live bait. Jx with 40# works good for yo yo. Wouldn't do it another way as far as avet. I think there are better reels for kayaking in general though. Not a bad choice, just more robust ones. Two speed is nice, but doesn't hold up well to salt damage.
