That setup will land big fish. You will just need to get used to playing
them with a fly rod.

they won't bite through your line so it's all about the fight.

Get some fly poppers and streamers. If the pond has bass then it has panfish
as well and the smaller flies will get hit by those mostly. They sell the
poppers at Wal-Mart for a couple bucks for 5 or 6 poppers. Those are just as
good as hand tied ones for 3-5 bucks a piece and it won't hurt as much when
you snap one off in a tree.

I live on a lake that is mostly stocked with bass. A few days ago I
picked up a fly rod combo from Cabellas that came with all sort of
flies with tiny hooks. I'm sure that these will not work with a fish
over one pound or so. What is commonly used for bass? (The largest one
I've seen on the lake was aroiund six pounds, but mostly they run in
2-3 pound range.)

Thanks
