Im looking for a good reel to fish heavy cover with. Im wanting to stay around the 150.00 mark. Also what would be a good rod in the same price range? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Steal of a deal. High speed STX is perfect. And you'll have some money left over to spool it up.

Abu Garcia Revo STX in 6:4:1 gear ratio(has more drag)

Powell Max 705C($139.99) or Powell Max 766H($169.99)

FireLine Braid in 65lb test

Yep, another vote for the STX from me.  $200 reel on sale for #120... can't beat that.

Where have you seen them for $120?  Best I have seen is $140 at TW.
