Hmmm. Wonder how much flak I will get for even mentioning the possibility of a Lew's Tournament MB ($139.99). Got mine at Dick's during one of their 20% off sales ... and that certainly eased the pain. To keep it in perspective, I do only fish a couple of times a week but it has served me well for the past two+ years. And I have had great responses from the company when I had questions about this and other models. (Just thought I'd add to your plethora of very good options.)

 

Dang! I gotta quit getting fished in to responding to ancient posts!  Sheesh!

 

Wow.  A 9 year old post.  Hope the OP got his new reel long ago.

LOL  If he got an Abu Garcia Ambassadeur Round Baitcast Reel he's still fishing it.

Try the new Kastking Assassin for $60

 

But what do I know, I still use the Old Pearl white Chronarch 101d's

Interesting. 

Cabela's is currently selling Abu Garcia Revo SX ($159.99) for $99.

That gets you a $160 reel, a spool of braid and a few lures for your $150...
