Does a 200 sized reel have enough line capacity and large enough gears/torque for general striper fishing...? I like the theory of using a larger reel for increased line capacity and bigger gears for torque but I have small hands and I hate 300-400 sized reels. I am hoping a 200 sized Daiwa Tatula would be fine even for stripers that can reach upwards of 20+ lbs.

It will work if you play your cards right , keep the drag loose. I’ve caught them up to somewhere around 35 lbs with small baitcasters
