It’s a little over your budget but it’s hard to beat a Diawa Fuego LT. they have a large spool and they are the smoothest reel I’ve ever used. They’ve become my go to reel
Pflueger makes an Arbor. Same quality and much bigger dia spool. Well actually comes with two spools. Solves your clear water issue.

Shimano sahara. Yes they are a little more pricey than the cheaper Shimanos but in this case the difference is notable. It's an absolute pleasure using my saharas, I have siennas too and they work but they are just ok, nothing special about them
