I pretty much fish bass with a topwater presentation in heavy cover. For me a 6 or 8 is ideal.....maybe even a 9. I throw mostly poppers, sliders, divers, and other frog patterns for bass so the bigger presentations require bigger stuff. Wind plays a big part in it too. But what everyone else said is good.....5-8....throw in a 9.....and you should be fine.Tue, 16 Mar 2010 06:13:54 GMTShadowcasthttp://www.addictivefishing.com/forum/Topic33180-13-1.aspxI use an 8 but some of the deer hair bugs I use are pretty "fluffy".Thu, 11 Mar 2010 06:53:54 GMTNiagarahttp://www.addictivefishing.com/forum/Topic33180-13-1.aspxFor bass I'll fish with my 6wt, but 5wt would be a lot more fun. <br>If youre fishing strictly for bass then my suggestion is a 5wtMon, 05 Oct 2009 10:01:19 GMTbiteme25http://www.addictivefishing.com/forum/Topic33180-13-1.aspxI use a 5-6 wt rod/reel. 6wt line.
