M/L rods for bass

finessefishin · 03-05-12, 07:13 PM

I have a couple 7' ML spinning rods which I use quite a bit. The lakes I fish are small and heavily pressured so I am used to using small 1/16oz finesse baits on 6lb test. I haven't noticed a problem setting the hook and I haven't had any problems fighting big fish even in heavy cover. Last year I caught a bass close to 8lbs with a 6lb test ML spinning combo, and I had to get it out from the sunken tree it was hiding in. You just have to take your time fighting the fish and eventually you will get used to it.
