First bait caster, ~$150, Curado K, Tatula?

Hi all, sorry for a repeated question! Im looking to get my first baitcaster reel, the catch is that it has to come from Bass Pro Shops since I have $200 in gift cards. I was eyeing up the Tatula 100/150 and the Curado (K model is the specific one I saw), those seem to be the most popular picks for this price range? I’ve been doing research and been comparing the different model types and I’m still not sure what’s right for me.

I’m just looking for something general purpose, a decent first baitcaster. I have experience with baitcasters so I think the options I’ve picked seem solid for someone who’s familiar with BC’s & I’ve been using a spinning reel setup it’s more on the light end but I also just tie whatever onto it, it’s be nice to have that be a bluegill rig and the baitcaster as a general purpose bass rig.

While we’re at it, is there a rod you’d recommend to pair with either of those? I was trying to find something in the 6’6 range since I’m a bank-fisher with a lot of trees around me, and medium-heavy & fast?
