Good reel in the 80-100 range

I need to get a nice reel for under 100 bucks, it will be used for bass fishing, throwing spinners, cranks, and topwaters. Also it maybe used for trolling cranks for eyes, but thats just a side bonus, Any Ideas?

BTW I am thinking Baitcaster, and I like to use 12-14lb mono, Most lures i cast at 1/2 ounce so I neer to be able to get some distance on the casts.

The Pflueger trion is $100. I have two and love them for flipping and pitching. I've also used them for spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, and other cranks.

I have a shimano cardiff, and I think that it's better than my calcutta. It's smooth, and I am not God's gift to baitcasters by any means!

Quantum Accurist AC500CX is $100.

I have 4 of them.

But my new reel of choice that I am moving into is the Pflueger President. Nice! But they are $130.

A good reel for $100 is the Lew's Speed Spool. Anyone else use these?

[buzzin for bass]

I like the Prodigy baitcaster from Cabela's. It's just under $100 if purchased alone. I've found the reel to be incredibly smooth and forgiving. I use several prodigy reels for bass fishing with the types of baits you mentioned.

Shimano Sahara 750. Great reel for 59.99.

I also like the Trion, however I felt the Purist was a very similar reel, a little smaller, and $20 cheaper, so I went with that. Bought it today
