I have a couple of Team KVD reels that I really like but I am not sure they still make those. You can find them online for under $100

Quantum Smoke for $150

I have no experience with the current crop of Lew's reels but I would not hesitate based one older reels I've had

https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/baitcast-reels Lew's $100-$200

A lot of options out there. More experienced folks have told me it's hard to go wrong with Shimano but I have none to give a personal reference.

edited to correct statement on Lew's. I would NOT hesitate to buy a Lew's based on previous experiences.

The ones I looked at were $160. May be close enough for the OP.

The shimano stradic is a great reel for the money.

Every one of the major brands makes a damn good reel in the $150 range. It's like chevy, ford, dodge at that level. People will swear by what they own but it's prettymuch just personal preference. Go hold them and see what fits your hand the best. If I'm spending your money it's on a Curado K, but I grew up fishing shimanos and that's what I am comfortable with.

Curado K from EBay for $135. Buy some nice Flouro or braid with the other $15.

Bass Pro Pro qualifier 2.0 is really good real. Was on sale for $99 a few weeks ago. I have 2 and super happy with them.
