I think the only reason the Sealine hasn't come up in this thread is because its not among the the two reels he is considering. Most everyone here who has landed Big Fish on The Sealine agree it is the best all around reel for Kayak fishing - and just about anything else for that matter. 16.5 lbs of smooth drag straight out of the box - even smoother drag with the carbotex drag washers.
Very little maintenance required.

The Saltist is a class above.
Stronger internals parts, gears, and frame, 2 silent anti-reverse devices, additional sealed bearings, 22 lbs. of smooth drag.
Very little maintenance required and it survives the kayak environment.
