The Abu Garcia Revo line is awesome ranging from $120-270 with six or seven models to choose from. Also check out the Shimano Carado E which from review I have read is a good reel.

If you can spend up to $250, you absolutely cannot go wrong with the Shimano Curado 200 for about $169.00. The Variable Braking System allows anyone to learn baitcasting while keeping backlashes to a minimum. I would match this reel against any $500 reel made today. I own three Curados, an Abu Garcia Revo, and two Quantum Energy PT baitcasters, and I would trade all the others for one more Curado. Invest in your equipment and your learning curve will be alot faster.
Best of luck to you!

Shimano and Quantum are both good brand name reels and are in your price range. I would go to Bass Pro Shop and just look around to see what all of your options are. You never know you might find something someone hasn’t mentioned on here.
