Looking for a baitcasting setup in the 100-200 $/€ range for pike fishing. Especially the reels confuse me, how do I know if a reel is adequate for big lures and pike? Was looking to throw lures over 30g up to 80-100.

I just did a bunch of research and selected the Piscifun Alijoz for similar fishing. At $100 it seems like it will be better quality than the low end of name brand reels that are in that price range. Still in the mail though. There are a lot of youtube videos recommending it which hopefully are not just marketing astroturf.

From my experience I can tell you that Shimano is good, Daiwa is okay and Abu Garcia is poor quality.

If you are going for pike consider the reel in the pic. It's good for most lures unless they are really tiny or lightweight.

I run a ABU pro-max on a Vandetta 15-40 MH 7'
Works well for what I need it to, I mostly gor for pike and perch in fresh water, not monsters, just small lakes and ponds

I really like the size of the pro-max in my hand, small enough for full control, I have a more expensive baitcaster that I almost never use because its heavier, bigger and ... I dunno, the pro-max is just the one I've had in my hand for the most hours you know? When you really develop a "feeling" through a rod and reel
