i just ordered a custom rod from For flounder buck tailing 4-6 oz range
And I'm trying to decide on a reel I have narrowed it down to a shimano Trinidad 12 a or a daiwa saltiga 15 Japanese model any input would be appreciated

IMO a low profile reel like An abu Garcia Revo NACL is better suited for bucktailing than a round reel is.
especially for all day comfort.

Those reels overkill for fluke , like was mentioned or Daiwa Lexas seem better suited for bucktailing .
I'm still using my Daiwa Millionaires 300 laned numerous big fluke in the past 15 15 seasoms on those just drags replaced ! I just installed power handles off Waves on mine great reels own 10 of em .

Look at the new accurate BV-300 it's very small light and smooth, casts great too!

[UglyStick]

Check out the Maxel Hybrid too...

thinking about doing The Gambler 10 exotic trip for Mahi Mahi, Bonito and other pelagic fish. I have a Shimano Torium 16hg and a Daiwa sea-line x-50 sha. I wanted to know if these would be good for that type of fishing. And what kind of line and test?

Those reels should be fine for the fish you will encounter.

I'd put 30 pound braid on them. You can back them with mono then a few hundred yards of braid then a 20 pound mono top shot for your leader.
