Bass pro makes pretty good stuff in that price range, but I'm also a big fan of academy's H20 express mettle reels. They will take a beating and are very smooth for a budget reel. Usually will have a few on the rack as a combo in the 100 dollar range. For a single rod you're going to want to start with a medium heavy power fast action. This will allow you to do a wide range of things pretty well.

I've got a rod box full of the Mettle combos and a couple of Shimano curados. Sometimes academy runs the camo wrapped Mettle combos on sale for around $70...they are worth every penny. We use the Mettles 90% of the time.
