Quantum Accurists are pretty good as well as the Shimano Citica, and around $100 or so. Okuma makes really good reels but just like everything else you get what you pay for. Baitcasting reels are not old technology [crazy], they pull the line in instead of wind it up plus they have more power than a spinning reel. For cranks and spinnerbaits and the list goes on there is no better choice. I use my bc reels in the dark and have no problems at all. I admit, it takes some getting used to but you will learn to prefer them over spinning reels. Especially when casting heavier baits.
You will spool out, it happens but as you get better they turn into 'professional overruns' and you can fix it in a few seconds. I could go on for a long time, being able to control your cast distance easily and effortlessly is my favorite things about bc reels.
