I alway use 30lb braid for my fishing, including for surf perch. I run a 10' shock leader that is 30lb, than tie 8lb leader for my hooks.
I never felt that I had a problem of not catching surf perch.
emblem pro 5000=22.6oz
shimano albrid= 17oz
At the end of the day is anybody going to notice roughtly 5-7oz lighter?
After getting back to fishing from the winter I notice my arm being a little tired from casting my zb25(21.6oz). As the season goes on I don't notice it at all.
At least the potential for you to achieve greater casting distances are there with that reel.
At least the shark didn't die of old age, and someone caught it so a lot of other people can see the picture of how big it is.
Otherwise nobody would have seen it, right?
Ever try the search function, anyways I did it for you. I'm not a kayaker so hope this helps.

This fish I caught off of Oregon coast, can someone tell me what it is. I suspect it's some kind of perch, but have never caught this one before.
I caught it at a place that has very steep shoreline and it gets deep quick.
