A lot of guys really like the Shimano Stradic series because of the advanced drag system and durability. The 2500 is plenty big enough for the Bay. I think any reel in that size range will work out okay. The biggest issue is durability. Even the relatively mild salinitiy in the Bay will cause reels to fail quickly.

I want to pair it with a 6'6" rod with medium action. Do you have a reel recommendation for both flounder and light tackle jigging in the Bay and Potomac/Patuxent rivers.
