As of 2017 BPS PQ is hands down my favorite for $100 and under 

Diawa Fuego,on the bay approximately 75.00

Geez, no love for the Shimano Caenan 150. It's a great budget reel, smooth reeling and good casting. 

Recently bought my first Quantum BC in yrs. named the Quantum Team KVD Performance Tuned Baitcast Reel. Works great and does what you want. In better hands, maybe better. 79.99

And you can get a $69.95 backpack for free with proof of purchase if you buy it from BPS.  If you buy it from TW, you have 4 choices for free stuff.

Read in this month's In-Fisherman an article about hyper speed baitcasters and how manufacturers are meeting the demand for them -- especially from the pros. KastKing rep is proud of his Speed Demon. IPT is 40 inches at 9:3:1 for 69.99 thru Amazon. Normally, 129.98. Thinkin' about it.
