Generally, any reel you find for 100 bucks and up is going to be a very good reel. Without knowing what you fish for and what not, it’s a little hard to reccomend a specific reel.

As I always suggest on here to people, check out Abu Garcia and Quantum reels. These are both very reputable companies that make excellent quality products. I’ve always had great luck with Abu Garcia. They’re top of the line reel at the moment is the Revo. There’s a few different Revo series, all are very nice. As for Quantum, I don’t currently have any of their reels but I have used them a lot in the past. Again, I’ve been very happy with them. They have a few Kevin Van Dam series reels, which I believe is their best quality reel at the moment. I bought my Dad one of these a while back and had to use it a bit before hand lol. It was one of the smothest reels that I have ever used, possibly even smoother than the Revos. Regardless, you’ll be very happy if you choose one of these reels.

Edit: I’ll also add that you don’t have to spend 100+ bucks for a decent reel. You can do a bit of research and look around and find pretty solid reels for 70 or so dollars, maybe even cheaper if you happen to find one on sale. For the best baitcasting reels, you will be looking at 100+ dollars.
