Personally i would go the Symetre by shimano but im a shimano man, if you check out DohDohDohDohDohDohDohDoh.com.au, they have maybe a dozen or so reels in the Daiwa range that are under $150.

Never used one mate but you get what you pay for. If he wants a better quality reel buy the Symetre.

the stradics shred but they r about $230-250. bit out of your price range but they will last for ever and they have a awsome drag on them

I know the deal have already been done, but there are some sites that are selling stradics for $159. Might wanna take a look at them if he want something a bit better. Besides saying that my brother has a slade and for the price. it has some go for it.
