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

I have older Seeker rods that get the work done and older reels that I try to keep in top working order. I would love to have a couple of the new reels that are out but don't have the budget right now for them. My last big catch was a very big Black Bass that I brought in on a Penn Jigmaster. It was pushed to the limit but the fish was huge.
My advice... Stick to your budget and take good care of whatever equipment you have.
I'd be sick to my stomach if I lost a $$$ reel while rolling in the surf. But losing a Jigmaster wouldn't kill me or break the bank to replace.
