Solid advice thanks fellas

I tried heavy gear from a kayak....it is not required. 
Stick with an 8-10kg 7 foot rod and up to 15kg line....up the leader as required..
You can not put lots of hurt on a fish from a kayak....just let them tow you around....as long as you don't get sharked you will land them all.
The kayak get towed very easily and you can get towed much faster than you can paddle on 10lb braid.
Add to that it is nearly impossible to break off 50lb line of any sort in a kayak, and if you swing to the side you can be very easily rolled out of the kayak.
I tried to bust off 15kg line once in the kayak....i did it but risked everything on board trying to do it...it was that close to rolling or being dumped on by the next wave.

Thanks for the responses,
I'm also fishing NSW (South coast). I'll be getting getting a kayak as well, am wondering what you think of using the aforementioned 8 footer s80 on a kayak. Is the length and action a bit too much for this use case? Can anyone comment on the Daiwa Spartan rods and how they compare and what i'd be missing? I am trying to keep costs down and the bluewater is significantly cheaper..
Maybe I need to look at a different set up entirely for kayak fishing, something smaller and lighter to manoeuvre. Any recommendations here?
Was considering the 
Penn Ally 5'6" 1pc 24-37kg Spin Rod
or maybe the 
 
Penn GT 5'6" 1pc 15-24kg 340 Overhead Combo
budget friendly, now sure how they handle.
Maybe a daiwa Legalis LT or Exceler LT,
or is the Daiwa BG/Penn Slammer 6500 a better idea for saltwater 
Cheers

@Rebel@mangajackThanks for the responses,
Its a good point about the fibreglass over graphite.. im not sure how the pe8 daiwa bluewater 8ft would do with deadlifting fish, it seems it would be pretty strong with such a high PE rating, no? I have the penn prevail 2 12ft and conflict 8000 reel which was for the beach.  Do you throw lures with this thing or just bait and wait? I wanted something i could cast lures with all day and the 8ft bluewater seemed to me to be a good choice for this.
Says on the website about the S80, unidirectional wrapped, graphite/fibreglass construction. BG Bluewater blanks are incredibly resilient, have an unwavering backbone, and the power to lift and lead strong fish from the depths. 
Not exactly sure how that compares to pure fibreglass though..
