Nope.  Never heard of such an animal...good or bad.

Variable gear ratio hasn´t existed in freshwater baitcasters since the 80´s.

I haven't seen one made since the late 80's with Shimano's Bantum Beastmaster 2-speed. It had a lever that you flipped up and down for 6.1:1 and 4.1:1. I bought one back then and still have it.

Doesn't exist like others have said, but a good reel for under $100:

Look on Ebay, you can pick up a Daiwa Tatula brand new for $95 and a Lews tournament MB for around $100 (maybe a few bucks more)

You will not find two better reels for that price anywhere. 

I own both but prefer the Tatula.
