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.

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.

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.

I've always preferred an ultralight spinning rig for crappie
too. I use 2 lb. test and toss a 1/32 oz bucktail jig. If you
find a school of 'em you can catch more than you want to clean. ;-)

I had a rig just like that when I was a kid. It was actually a flyrod of my
dad's that had been broken at the ferrule. I cut it smooth wrapped it with
thread and glue and stuck the two pieces together, and replaced the tip top
with a ceramic one. I caught my first decent size bass on it dead sticking
a minnow on six pound test spooled on a tiny Olympia spinning reel.
