You could try fishing the worm the "traditional" way with a worm weight if you prefer to feel it bouncing along the bottom. Just google "worm weight" and you'll see the sinkers used.

Thanks for the tips guys. If anyone could advise on a rod that would be superb as well

For a wacky set up, I use a Fenwick 6'6" Medium light fast spinning rod with a Pflueger Purist 1325. I use 2 or 4 lb mono line with 10"-12" 6 lb fluroro lead.

I can visualise how that would work nicely, what about if I'm using a lure! Same rod or would I need something a bit for beefy ?

I would never use 4 or 6 lb line for general bass fishing. Way too light IMO. If you are setting the hook in slop you'll lose some fish with 4lb test.

You are absolutely right. I just want to know how big a bass I can catch using light line. It also improves my skill.

Getting a bunch of different sized painted/unpainted jig heads combined with an assortment of plastics will allow you to adapt to almost any fishing situation. I've known the White painted jig heads with the black eyes used with a small white grub to be lethal for smallmouth in certain spots. Plus you can fish the jigheads a few different ways and changing colors is as easy as it gets.

For heavier lures, I use baitcaster set up.
