Has anyone used or read about using a Curado 50e in saltwater? Do you think this rod could pull double duty for Snook, trout, and reds?

Sure, why not? The only reels I won't go near saltwater with are ones with a magnesium frame, like a Chronarch 50MG.

That reel will do anything. Just be careful, for saltwater it doesnt hold too much line to go for big fish.

I used a mg reel in saltwater for 2 years without any problems or wear and corrosion on the frame, I still use this reel almost every day.

The Stella fe has a mg frame and shimano approves it for saltwater use.
