Casting Reels?

[Tincanfsh]

It has been suggested to me that I might want to up grade to a casting reel set up for Bassing and for general use. I have been looking around and have found that they are more expensive then spinning set ups. I am willing to put $100 in to a casting reel. What are some good brands to look for and what brands to keep away from.What kind do you use. Are Casting reels things that you get what you pay for or can you get a good one for cheap? I have noticed that some some have multiple gears. What functions should I look for. I will most likely put it on a Ugly Stick casting pole.
Thanks for any help that you guys can give.[]
