The Okuma VS-30 will fit in your budget, & its the perfet size for that 1143s.... that or go the Shimano Stradic 3000/4000 route, IMHO the 2500 reel is too small for med-big water. I have one on my Rainshadow 1082s for real small stream float & jigs & its ok for that.

Good spinning reel review a while back in Salmon & Steelhead Journal, think the Okuma was the overall winner.....

BTW, here is a good review on its little bro. the VS-20

Ditto on the 30 lb. PP, its the right size (line dia.) & the way to go.
