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.

For heavier lures, I use baitcaster set up.

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.

What size plastic worms are you using? The 6" senko to me seems beefy compared to the 5" senko or the 6" finesse/trick worms I usually use.

The weighted wacky jigs work well for casting the lighter worms on windy days but I like the lighter jigheads like 1/16 oz, or 1/8 oz when the wind is really honking rather than anything heavier because I think it ruins the lures action by sinking too fast.
