The Penn Z series (unfortunately no longer produced) is the gold standard for many in the $100 range. eBay, garage sales, and tackle swap events are the main places the 704 and 706 are scored these days.

For new reels, the Shimano Spheros has been a good, tough reel for many anglers. Prices range between $79 and $110 depending on the size.
