Shimano SLX.

Casts great, feels good in the hand, and is holding up really well.

Abu Garcia Revo x. I have a couple and they are smooth, lightweight, tough, and very comfortable to fish all day. Used to fish almost exclusively Shimano until I tried one of these last year.

If you don't mind used, you can get Revo SX and SXT on Ebay for around $100. Just have to look around.

I'd get either a Lew's Speed Spool in whichever model(LFS/BB-1) they sell for $100 or a Pro Qualifier from Bass Pro. I use and abuse those reels and they keep on ticking! Of course getting them cleaned once a year helps too lol.

I have several Shimano SLXs and about 25 other Shimanos, but the best $100 reel to me is the Tatula 100.

The Lew's LFS is a quality reel for the price. I have got to check out the Shimano SLX sometime in the near future.

Any of the Brands mentioned here that normally sells for about $200 but is for sale on Ebay for $100.

But not from outside the USA.
