The team lite is designed for lighter applications. I have one on a medium action 7ft veritas and am currently using it to throw 7in trick worms with a 1/16 oz weight. I also have a tournament lite set up as my shakey head and drop shot rod, paired with a 7ft fenwick HMX medium action. I have a BB! pro set on a 7'3" HM veritas as a heavier action worming rod Love all 3 reels and none of them have ever failed. Hope this helps

I have mine paired with a Abu Garcia Veritas 7ft Medium/fast rod and love it. I actually have all my reels paired with Veritas rods. They have great sensitivity and durability for a $100 dollar rod. Lews also has a new rod out that is supposed to be very nice the Custom Speed Stick Series

Thank you for the clarification.

Check out this thread about the reels you are asking about http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/146485-lews-tournament-lite-vs-team-lite-vs-bb1-pro/

I had to check but here is the composition of the reels T-Pro has an aluminum frame with graphite side plates T-Lite has Carbon composite frame and side plates Team-Lite has an aluminum frames and carbon side plates Smalljaw67 is right about the aluminum frame vs a graphite frame. I am unsure how well the carbon comp frames are going to be. I know in other applications carbon composites are phenomenally lite and durable. If you have the extra money i would probably go with the team-lite.

Thank You for the help. I finally got it. For anyone else that might need it the part number is ssc12413 13ft

Either reel should do it. Not sure how far i cast with it but i know that my dad is having to buy new reels so that when he fishes with me he can cast as far as i do.

Secure the weight with a piece of velcro tie strap. You can get the velcro tie strap at any hardware store and then cut it into pieces, wrap the soft fuzzy side toward the rod directlt above the weight.

Can anyone tell me what steering cable i need to get for my 89' Bass Tracker 1600 TF? I looked on the cable but the printing in on the side that i can not see. I tried calling Bass Pro but they do not have a parts listing for the boat. Thank You Brian Heagren

There is no flex that i can feel. Both my T-Pro and BB1 Pro are solid reals. I caught a 16lb catfish fishing a rage rigged 10in worm, 15lb flouro, on the T-Pro and it worked fine. Drag held and i felt no flex. My BB1 has landed 5lb bass no problam I have it on my cranking rod so it does not get used as much as i mainly fish plastics. Great reel though as the externally adjustable brake lets you compensate for wind without opening the palming cover. My T-Pro would be a T-Lite but i bought it befor they came out.

I have both a tournament pro and the BB1 Here is the difference in the reels you are looking at Team Lite has a aluminum frame, and a carbon crank, the frame is more durable then the carbon frames Tournament Lite is basicly the same as the tournament pro except it has an aluminum crank, externally adjustable brake and is 1 oz lighter BB1 Pro has a larger spool so it will not throw lighter stuff as well, has to do with the rate that the spool gains momentum. I am about to purchase 2 Tournament Lites, mainly for lighter style soft baits, and the second as a general purpose reel for my dad. It all comes down to if you want to spend the extra cash on the aluminum framed Team Lite. My T-Pro throws light stuff great. I have it paired with a 7'0" Veritas medium/fast rod.
