I like to throw unweighted soft plastics & small jigs with light line for bass with mine. 

Definitely not suited for throwing bigger, heavier bass lures like crank baits, spinner baits or big jigs though. 

Did you have something specific in mind, or just wondering in general?

Status: offline 		just wondering.  for as often as i use mine, sometimes i think i should try them another way.  i know of guys who use them for trolling on inland lakes and read where someone else on another site uses his for trolling from a canoe.

guy i work witih just bought two for crappie fishing in the thick stuff.

Status: offline 		i like using mine for when i use bait for trout or bass.  the soft tip will not spook fish when they take the bait but allows be time to grab the rod without the fish feeling pressure.  then i get a good hook set without deep hooking the fish.  it is also very good when bobber fishing because of the long rod, you get a good sweep set.  plus the fight is great, especially on big bass in erie.
