BPS pro qualifier, bass tackle depot has the new Quantum Kinetic on sale for 80 dollars which is a very good reel, look to see if the Citica E from Shimano is around, those are now discontinued but leftovers are in your price range.

Pro Qualifier is it, unless you are willing to shell out another $50 0n top of that $100. That Pro Qual is an amazing reel though, I love mine.

Citica 200e. See if your local Gander Mt (assuming you live close to one) still has some on clearance for $80. I picked one up a few weeks ago and I know they still have some left.

I have three BPS Pro Qualifier reels that between me and my wife get a lot of use. They have worked flawlessly since day one. At that price range they are a very good value in my opinion.

I would say if can get the Citica with the $30 off jumped on it if not and want the PQ get it, I love mine. If can and what to spend a little more get a Curado E. Amazing reel.
I got a PQ in 7.1:1 and a Curado 200E5 in 5.0:1.

I got one of those at thier spring sale and you're right that is a one smooth reel.
I was thinking about getting a PQ because of all the comments about it I've been reading here, but I do love that carbon black...Hmmm

Another vote for the Pro Qualifier. I iust got one in the 7.1 ratio and I really like it. It reminds me of my Citica. They're even better when they're on sale for $80.
