Hell an 8 weight up-lined 2 weights could chunk those with ease.

 It's more than the catfish would do.

Oh I agree, but you have to remember the bass bug taper lines usually have a head 2 line sizes heavier, the regular #8 line head.

Well, I was thinking 8 as well, but if we're going to be throwing them into a 20 mph wind, I'd like to have a 10  And honestly, that's all we've had down here lately. Ides of March in early August.
