Joe, i just reread original post...I used mine flounder fishing also. If you are soaking bait for the species you described, you created as good a reel as you'll need. You might consider the 24-310 handle that has the bigger football knob. A nice upgrade for cranking back lead across the bottom if you don't want to go up to 24-66. I like the 10-66 star.
I have some of those 24-310 handles from a Seaboy lot, and will try one. The thing about bigger handles... you get more leverage, but the larger cranking diameter means it is more work to crank fast from the wrist. With the slow retrieve ratios especially, my tendency is to use a small handle. But, no doubt, if I'm fighting a 20lb striper or 15 lb bluefish on a 10, the bigger handle is going to be more comfortable. Those 24-155 old-time (hand lathed?) football knobs are like candy too -- butterscotch, cherry, lime, rootbeer -- I can't resist them.
