Flyrod weight for bass

[riverdog]

I'd say 6-8 wt depending where you're fishing and what you're throwing. For Utah with very few bass over 8 lbs a 6-7 wt rod is plenty usually. If you're going to fish places where bigger bass are much more common then a 7-8 wt makes sense. A shorter fly rod than the standard 9 ft makes sense if you fish from a boat and cast are going to be all under 50 ft. Go with the 9 ft if shore fishing and or casting while sitting in a float tube, kayak or similar situation. All that said if you're going to be throwing some big heavy flies with a lot of wind resistance while fishing for LMB you probable want the 8 wt even here in Utah.
