Abu Ambassadeurs
are excellent reels. Good drag. Not expensive and they cast really really well. A lot of the guys who do dry casting use them.

You could probably go the Abu
You could probably go the Abu Black Max or Silver Max. I can only comment on these as i have a black max as a spare combo for someone else to use. Its a pretty significant drop in quality but ive still managed jacks,trevs, and cods. Just make sure the braid is spooled on very tight.it might be better to start with mono.
Im sure shimano and daiwa baitcaster have reels suitable for your budget but cant comment having neve rused them
