Thanks for all your replies they are appreciated. I also note that the replies come from all corners of this Country . . . amazing! I'm in South Florida fishing ponds for small Bass and Bream in the cooler months. Small Bass (10" to 14") are plentiful in the shallows during cooler weather and the bream are relatively large. I'm mostly throwing poppers. foam bugs and small streamers from the banks in the evening. Going 5 wt. I think. Thanks Tom
