Looking to get one more rod without a reel, help !

So right now my current rod/reel lineup is:

Shimano Stradic 2500 / Extreme XPS Medium 6'6 rod

Shimano Citica / Extreme XPS Mediume Heavy 7ft Rod

I'm looking for something to throw mostly swimbaits under 1 1/2 oz  and frogs with. I'm going to use a BPS Pro Qualifier reel but need a rod under $100.

Right now I'm using the Citica / Extreme for Jigs and stuff, but I would be willing to use the Extreme 7ft MH for frogs and swimbaits and get a better rod for jigs.. if that makes more sense

I could put the Qualifier on the Extreme rod for swimbait/frogs, but then I need a decent jig/worm rod for my citica.

I'm just looking for a good rod to help me be more versatile and able to throw more. so any suggestions would be great!

I would keep the Extreme rod for you jigs/worm and frog and get an Okuma SB series 7.6 MH ( $ 99.00 ) You may not be able to cast light frogs with it but is perfect for the swimbaits that you are talking about.

Okuma Guide Select Big Bait series.  $100 on the nose.
