what reel is quality made and has the best bang for your buck. the cheaper 200g or the more expensive 300e shimano curado?

Two totally different reels the 300e is larger then the 200g. The chronarch 200e is the same reel as the curado 200e What do you plan on using the reel for?

Have both; and they are both quality. But yes, they are intended for different purposes.

You can't go wrong with either...jbsoonerfan is selling some Curado G's for about $105 each on the fleamarket..I just bought a Chronarch 50E from him...I would jump on those Curados...sweet deal. He had another Chronarch 50E too...and 200E7 ....he's great to deal with,
