Default Best Reel
Which Baitcasting reel is the best for Flounder and spec, but also has enough power for a 24" Red, I have heard Shimano Curado to be one of the best.

Not anymore... This has been discussed a few times on here before if you do a search you might find some answers. Personally I like my old Curados but the new ones are cheap crap. Next time I buy a reel I think it's going to be a Lews or a Outcast reel

depends on your price range. I just got a Shimano Core. I really like it.

Curado is a fine reel.

Shimano Curado E7 or Chronarch E7
If you can find a citica e series that is a good reel as well

The Outcast Reels are very nice! I'm now using 2 of them as my primary reels.

Lews!!! They hold up to the salt water with out any cleaning. I never spray mine off or spray with reel magic and they cast like they did out of the box. I always have to spray my shimanos and diawas
