Reel for big swimmies? Curado, Toro, or? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Looking for a reel for my Graftech GISM which is a pretty stiff albeit heavy rod. Setup will be for big swimbaits 5''+ for calicos and grumps. I've read mixed reviews about the Toro, and haven't heard anything bad about the Curado yet, but also haven't read about the Curado being able to land yellowtail. I rinse and lube my gear regularly. Which is a more durable reel and which should I get?
