We have several Mitchell 782 for salmon fishing in NY ...they were
discontinued several years ago and are scarse on eBay. The unique
feature other than large capacity, is that the rewind handle does NOT
spin when a fish streams out the line. We frequently use just mono and
put 500+ yards of 12 pound Trilene ...peel off 10 yards at a time when
it gets scuffed up on rocks.

Are there any other manufacturers in the under $100 price, that have
this rewind feature?

The feature of which you speak is called "anti-reverse", and there are a few
such fly reels on the market. Start with Orvis, for one...
