Topic says casting reel, but I'm not sure if you are willing to spend $100 on the reel or if that $100 is suppose to be for both rod and reel.  If it is just for the reel, then I am going to make a couple more suggestions.  You've already gotten several good ones.  The standard Tatula can be gotten in your price range.  I have both the standard and Type R.  Liking them a lot.

 

My other suggestion is to look at the Pinnacle reels.  I received my first Pinnacle reel last week.  Obviously I haven't been out using it yet.  Can barely stand the cold as I sit here typing in my basement.    Reviews of their new reels have been positive.  I bought a hand-tuned model.  Not only is it a very nice looking reel (and very light), but it seems to be very smooth from the playing I have done with it.

Thanks! I thought tatulas were way more! have heard many good things about them. and yes it is $120/MAX for just a reel. Hope it warms up for your area soon!

This look like a nice combo?

 

 

Check out Rakuten.com. If you apply for their credit card they will give you $60 credit instantly. They have quite a few reels to choose from. I got an Ardent Evercast for $0.83. If my research is correct it is the same reel as the Skeet Reese Victory. They also have Quantum Accurist PT for around $80 so it would be about $20. Can't beat that.

The credit card deal expires tomorrow morning though.

List price, yes.  You can find the standard Tatulas for $95-$105 with some searching.  I got my Tatula Type R for $131.  I love this baby!    Picked up a used like new standard Tatula for $85.  Can't beat that with a 10' stick. 

Here's another vote for the Exceler.  I have one on my crankbait rod and it tackles the job just fine.  Casts a mile and is super smooth.  Dialing it in is childs play.  

if you have an Academy near you should look at the H2o gear. Its good stuff and you cant beat the warranty

2farmer is one of the guys I'd trust.  Doesn't hurt that slightly over half my reels are Daiwas although the Exceler isn't one of them.  May have to give one a shot at that price.

citica 200e. all over the place now slightly used for around 70 bucks. hard to beat that

another option is the new daiwa aird reel. from what ive read its gotten solid reviews and can b had for around 100
