Below your price point, but I really like Shimano Sienna reels.  Good enough to feel like a quality reel, inexpensive enough that I don't need to fuss over them.

 

Post fishing I tighten up the drag and give them a fresh water shower...and that's it.

 

Every now and then I contemplate buying something a bit more flash and then decide not to bother because I don't see what I would gain.

I have the miravel which is basically a nasci with and upgrade. They are great reels, on the daiwa side, you cant go past a freams, or the infeet x as a good value for money reel

How much diff is there between a sedona and sienna?

The Sedona is more solidly built and smoother. That said I’ve spooled a couple of siennas for friends and I reckon they are totally fine for bread and butter estuary fishing if you’re on a budget.

All that said, if you have the money for a nasci, just buy that and go fishing😎

Its more of a convenience issue so that i don;t have to re-rig everything   when i switch between my light and medium outfit.

Nasci is solid. You can also pickup a Daiwa Freams for $150 at the moment which i think is a great deal.

I end up getting freams. the nasci for 150 and a spare quickfire rod is a alright rod but i already have a 2-6kg rod and a 1-3kg rod that does its job.
