[quote peter805][quote OlDirtyBasser]Funny how big a deal it can be to cross each other's lines. I have really wanted to try a bass bug or frog pattern lately at my local spot, but don't think my lone 5wt. will cut it.[/quote]
Your 5wt should be just fine for bass up to 14-16 inch.
Just make sure that he does not get into some weeds
and such.
I have cought nice size SMB and LMB on my Sage 3wt
as well without any big problems.
Now, if you get lets say a 16lb bass on 5wt, well good
luck...............[

Hope this helps

Problem with the 5wt. isn't so much the fish, mostly the big flies I'd like to throw and the nasty places I'd have to throw them.
