Tip

Tip: Use at least a 7- to 8-weight rod with matched line for bass, rather than a light trout setup

How to do it: Use a 7- to 8-weight rod with matched line for bass, not a light trout setup

Mistake it fixes: Using a light trout rod for bass

Why it works: Bass flies and fish require heavier rods. Light trout setups cannot cast large bass flies or handle bass.

When it matters most: Bass, rods
