The 15 size is great for the tasks you mention.
If possible, you might want to spring to the Fathom model as it is cast aluminum and a better all around reel compared to the squall.
The only thing i should mention is that when you step down to the 15 size is that you should also be looking at the large bait-casters like the Okuma Komodo 350/Daiwa Lexa 300/400, Shimano Curado 300 which make great 20lb reels and cast even easier than small conventionals.
Fun sizes that can handle some big fish with braid.
Good luck.
