newatthegame Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Hi Raiders I am keen to go catching some big bass. Looking to go up to the hunter for some dam bass. What rods, line etc is suitable. I own a bream stick (4-8 pound) with 6 pound braid, will this cope? It would be a good excuse to buy myself a new rod and reel for xmas.

wettingaline Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 (edited) Hey mate, i have only just got into bass fishing and its bloody fun!! I just went on a bass trip with a few guys that really know what they are doing....from what i have picked up off them this is what i reckon....get the smallest lightest outfit you can find, I just bought a browning reel Aa405, which is the smallest little pin ass reel i have ever seen and mounted it on a 6 ft bass pro shop IM7 graphite rod, I have 1.8kg braid with 4 pound flurocarbon leader....so yeah...get a really light out fit that can cast tiny lures for miles... ill show you a pic of my outfit in a sec...
