Need a spare setup for flippin braid & 20lb floro..looking to spend around $300 or less. Any recommendations?? How would those curados hold up with heavy line?

I would stay away from the new Curados..the 200e series was a jewel but Shimono got twisted and now there are better offerings. Revos are good. Lew's is another one. As for the rod, depends on you and your height as to how long the rod is. Get a med/heavy. Several to choose from. If you buy use, you could probably fine a great rod for the money. Visit your local tackle shop for info and opportunities.

Check out a Daiwa. The spool starts faster,and spins more free, than a Shimano.

One my favorites is a Falcon 7' Cara T7 heavy with a Revo SX. I like the drag better on the Revos compared to my Curados

PM TxNinja on here. He can make you an AMac rod to your specs at a very reasonable price. He does great work.

Revo SX with a 7' H Veritas will get you there for about $270

Revo SX on a Shimano Cumara works great. Found I prefer the Cumara over a much higher priced GLoomis NRX for pitchin and flippin. Sensitivity on the Shimano is so much greater than the NRX.

Curado E7 and a Powell 735. Look for used stuff and you can get under the $300 price range. Use the rest for tackle. You have to spend all the $300 since that is what you budgeted for, right? LOL

Check out the All Star ASR 7'6" swim bait rod. I used one for a while for 1oz+ baits and loved it. Spend the extra $200 on whatever reel you like.
You know the old saying
If it floats, flys, or f___s it is always cheaper to rent!
You have to decide which is more important.

Get a custom built for less than $150 and buy whatever reel u want with the rest...rainshadow blanks are great blanks for less than $100 typically
I can backlash toilet paper.
