1 speed vs 2 speed reel - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Most of the smaller 2-speeds like the Avet SX and MXJ/MXL, are really two reels in one... a bait reel with 4:1 gears and a jig reel with 6:1 gears. They don't have a low, winch, granny gear like some big tuna iron. So from that perspective they're nice in that you do have 2 reels in one. If you can swing one, go for it. My smallest 2-speed is an Avet JX (6:1/3:1) that I use for 40#.
