Quality inexpensive baitcast reel?

[utahgolf]

I have a daiwa exceler, I think it was 70 bucks, I like it a lot. This was my first baitcaster and its really smooth and hard to bird nest if you set the magnets and the tension knob tight, which I had to do all of that in the beginning but as I progressed I dialed everything looser and it was a great reel. I've had it for two years and used it on bass, muskie, pike, and it was dunked quite a few times and held up nicely. I had it paired with a medium heavy, 7'1 rod.. I'll upgrade this year though to something pricier as I'm now ready for the benefits and can appreciate a nicer reel.
