Thanks for all the help guys. I've never been on a forum where people were so helpful and informative. Really appreciate it big time!!

I use the lews tournament MB and it's great. Wasn't sure if certain reels are better for pulling in fish from slop or what. I just purchased the lews tournament lite so we'll see. Im sure it will do the job.

I'm looking for a new jig reel, I currently use a 7.1 lews tournament MB with a 7'3" duckett ghost heavy power fast action rod and I run 15-17lb Fluorocarbon. I am completely satisfied with this rod however I am looking for another stick I can jig using braid whenever I'm fishing muddy waters or heavy grass/mats. In the same token I would like a frog rod so I committed to a Dobyns Fury series 735c but I need a reel. I'm not sure what kind of reel I should get I only know lews reels. I obviously want something fast with 14lb drag. I'm looking at the lews tournament lite reel but I'm not sure if that's for the application I'm looking for. Long story short I want a reel that can handle 1/2-1oz jigs, frogs in heavy cover and pulling nice bass from grass. Any suggestions under $200???
