You could try out the pflueger president, in a 35 or 40 size. They retail at about 69$, come with a spare spool and has 10 bearings in it. One of the better reels you would get in that price range. They are awesome and very smooth. or the pflueger arbour... they are about 89$. 8 bearings, spare spool, these ones are almost made specifically for pike. Braid ready spool, and it is a large arbour design, really good for those fast moving pike that change direction a lot. Check thouse two out.

X2! I have had my Pfluger for 6 years and used it heavily. Besides a few scratches the reel still works as if it is new so far.
