Is a Penn 15 too small? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The 15 size is great for the tasks you mention.

If possible, you might want to spring to the Fathom model as it is cast aluminum and a better all around reel compared to the squall.

The only thing i should mention is that when you step down to the 15 size is that you should also be looking at the large bait-casters like the Okuma Komodo 350/Daiwa Lexa 300/400, Shimano Curado 300 which make great 20lb reels and cast even easier than small conventionals.

Fun sizes that can handle some big fish with braid.

Good luck.
