What is the best reel for mostly squarbills around 200? I am considering the daiwa tatula type R and the shimano curado I. Thanks.

Tatula type r IMHO.

Shimano Chronarch 200e5

Anything in that price range, really.  something 6 or 7:1 ish for ratio.  I'd be more interested in picking the right rod than the reel for this...

Lews BB1.. fantastic cranking reel, have mine on my squarebill setup love it

Curado I or the Chronarch E5

X2 dead on as usual.

Chronarch e5 or e6

Curado i 6.3

Lews bb1 pro

lews tourny pro

revo stx

Any of those will serve you well...however like mike said he rod is even more important.

A 7 mh mod or glass would be a good start

^^^This! I use a 6.4:1 for squarebills.

Like others have said, hard to go wrong at 200. And, the rod will be more important imo

yeah, see what feels the best in your had.  But, I suggest you take a look at the new Lew's Tournament Lite Speed Speel.  Great reel for $180 and all 5.8oz. of her.

It depends on the rod and the size of the lure you are wanting to through.  Lighter weight baits, Shimano Core.  Heavier stuff, Shimano Calcutta.   Average weight stuff, Shimano Curado.
