I know its not an Abu but a Daiwa saltist 20 would be spot on with the 12 to 20 lb kenzaki, the off the shelf abus are not what they used to be.

If you can pick up a Penn 525 GS or 535 GS you will have a reel that will last a lifetime. They come up for sale from time to time for alright money.

(There's a new 535 on ebay in Malaysia for around €120 landed and a used 525 ongoing from the UK :) )

525 or slosh 30 8) you will fit miles of braid on both and they will both handle a tope :D
