Default Using fly rod for bass

Well, I converted my fly rod over to a light tackle rig. I replaced the top
wire giude with a ceramic fuji guide and put a light weight spinning reel
with 6# test line.

I'll be throwing mostly grubs and bucktails with it and targeting bass most
of the time. Makes a dynamite crappie setup as well.

Good poppers are tied on good hooks and good hooks are important.
Then too, if a fifty cent popper falls apart after catching one
fish it won't take long for the fifty cent poppers to become more
expensive than the three dollar poppers in the long run.
