I had fished for bream when I was younger with a seven weight rod and caught bass too. I quit fly fishing for several years and when I started back bought a nine weight to bass fish with. Caught a five pound smallmouth bass with it and put it up because it was so stiff it was not fun. I have caught seven pound bass in millfoil here and didn’t like it because you were fighting a clump of grass instead of the fish. If I have to fish in heavy cover to catch my bass I’d rather not fish for them.
