I have caught 333 bass so far this year. Largest bass is 5 1/2 lbs. Caught it on a TRD green & brown worm 2 1/2 inches long rigged  weight less on spinning tackle  with 10 lb. Nanofil low vis green braid.  The rod is a St. Croix medium light  6 FT. I mainly use it for Crappie and Bream. Was having a hard time catching bass the other day,  I went with this rig and caught 8 bass between 1 1/2 lbs. and 5 1/2 lbs. The bass were about 2 ft. from the bank or less. All bass caught have been released.
