reel choice - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have some rods and reels from Big 5 that have outlasted my other high end gear. I have a rod I paid 40 bucks for that has caught it's fair share of decent fish. It helps that my wife works there so she can check every stores inventory and just get me the stuff I want, no they don't have what your high end tackle stores do but saying that they suck is a pretty bold statement......I have a sealine that I bought 2 years ago and it has seen some Nasty abuse with no services. Now I use it just to see how long it's going to last. I want to say the sealine reels are like the glocks of fishing reels.
