Im in the market for a new cranking reel and have narrowed it down to a shimano curado 200 E5, lews speed spool, lews tournament speed spool or, lews tournament MG I would probably get the curado for 130 and everything else will be normal priced I was also thinking about getting two speed spools instead of a more expensive reel and I just need some opinions.

Lew's, best made, best reel for the money. Any Lew's, preferably the MG.

yeah, you really cant go wrong with either. i have the 200E5, love it, but I know the Lew's are super nice! See which reel you feels better, also, I think the Lew's has carbon fiber drag.
Fishing keeps me sane.

You win either way. The E5 has a great rep. The paddles on my mg feel heavenly
