hey mate
imo the emeraldas colossal is a bit overkill for aus waters. It is a very good reel, but A: when casting and retreiving all day the weight will get to you, B: the drag is too much as well, C: the weight of the reel might not balance on the majorcraft.
few other reels too consider should be shimano sephia (ci4, bb) Daiwa emeraldas (white version) and new on the market daiwa emeraldas inf (watered down version of the emma at entry level) and the E-Gee.
I have also heard several reports that the pandra's quality isnt what it used to be and have heard of the blanks breaking very easily, so maybe consider something else. At the end of the day it is your decision,
