Any disadvantage with older reels? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Thanks all. Interesting replies as a whole.

Taking into account my experience, my gear, the wide array of fish in the area, I think I'll try and plan some of my first salt trips by targeting small anyway, and leave the big boys for all those experienced yakers out there

I'm sure as I learn and get some experience under my belt, I'll make that jump up and either try my gear on something bigger, or grab a reel a little more suitable.

Check out E-bay and some of the listings on here for some reels and rods to upgrade to. I have bought a lot of good gear lately for not too much money. I bought a nice TLD20 for $65 loaded with 65# braid. That's not a bad deal right there.
