Fly fishing for Bass is one of the fastest and most exciting segments of the fly fishing arena. That’s not to say that fly fishing for Bass is new, because it isn’t, but the number of people that are switching to the fly rod when pursuing Bass has grown considerably in the past few years.

Like I said if you already have a 7, 8, or 9, wt fly rod and reel set up you’re good to go, other wise you will want to get at a minimum a 7wt fly rod. Remember that you are going to be throwing large very wind resistant flies. I really like the Temple Fork Outfitters TiCRx series. This is a great fast action fly rod that really drives big flies in all types of conditions. If you are interested in participating in fly fishing for Bass in a tournament, the Sage Bass Series Fly Rod is specifically designed to conform to the 8'maximum length requirement, and is legal to fish in existing tournaments because it is under 8' long. Either of these rods will be great choices for fly fishing for Bass.

A Redington CD Fly Reel would be a great choice in a reel system.
