[quote fish2xtc]Thanks everyone for the info. I have a 5/6 wt rod that in 9ft. I mainly fish the Weber, Provo,and Strawberry rivers. I hit the Green 2-3 times a year. I would also like to start using it a bit more on Strawberry reservoir as well, but am having a difficult time getting the jigging out of me when I am there. As far as money, I really wanted to stay under $100. I am still learning to how fly fish so wouldn't mind getting something cheaper for now and then upgrade later once I get better.[/quote]
For what you are talking about you have a lot of options. And very few of them have to cost you more than $50. Some of the listed reels above are good options. You can even look into the Okuma reels. I have one on my 3 wt and it does its job. Even the bigger cutts at Strawberry don't fight all that hard where you need to worry about drag. With what you described, you need something to hold your line. Lots of options for less than $100. Go find one that feels good on your rod and you like the look of, and don't worry about the name on it!
