I have caught bass on all but my ugly stick light but i haven't really tried it is a small river pole 4ft5in. I have a 7 ft berkly amp with a okuma cimeron it is used mainly for smaller jigs and worms but have caught many bass with it, have a 7ft daiwa strikforce with a pflueger trion real that is used for larger jigs and medium crank bait and have caught a few bass with it but it is still somewhat new it is replacing my old rod, also have a 6ft 6in fenwick eagle gt baitcaster with a pflueger criterion real, this set up is new to me not overly familiar with baitcasters but have caught a couple bass with it and lost a few muskie with it. I have also caught bass with my wifes shakespear lady fish. I don't think it is so much the rod and real as much as technique and having the right bait at the right time as i have managed to get them pretty consistently and i am far from a bass fisherman, just lots of practice and patience. I do know small mouth seem to go after smaller bait than largemouth will, I have caught them on anything from drifting worms to small crappie jigs have never caught one on a larger crank bait (doesn't mean they won't hit em) overall i have had the best luck with smaller jigs.
