Correct Rod for Fly Fishing for Bass
The rod for bass fly-fishing should by all means be of split-bamboo. Ten feet is a very good length, and a rod an ounce or so heavier than the trout fly-rod and with a stiff backbone should be selected. The guides and other mountings should be exactly the same as for the trout fly-rod. With a rod such as the above, twenty-five yards of waterproof, enameled silk line, either level or tapered, size E, should be used.
A single-action click reel, 100-yard size, is most suitable for the rod and line above specified. For bass fly-fishing a double-multiplying reel may properly be used, but is not recommended because of its liability to foul the line. The quick retrieve of the double multiplier is sometimes of advantage when playing a large bass from the reel. If a multiplier is used select the 80 yard size.
