okuma has a good line of swimbait rods ,,, i have a 7ft6 heavy and it does well .... these rods are made for tossin big baits ....  the new swimbait rod ill be  buyin in spring is the redington ... this rod is 3inches longer and the handel is 3 inches shorter witch gives me more tip and allows me to deal with any hard surges ..... ;D bolth rods price at 100 bucks

For swimbaits that light, just use your worm and jig rod.

Bizz beat me to it. I highly recomend Okuma swimbait rods but for the size of baits you mentioned you dont need one. A regular hvy bass rod will do just fine.

+1

or any of your MH or H rods rated for the weight...  you asked about really light baits for swimbaits.

I have to use those smaller ones like the 4 inch storms and the smallest optimums because I don't live in Southern California lol.We don't got no 20lbers here in west Tennessee.

with the light weight swimbaits you can get away with a worm or flipping stick ..... i was just suggesting a swimbait rod ,,,, because when you start its all sown hill .... i felt the same way you did about not being in cali ,,,, but let me tell ya smaller bass will slam a bigger bait .... last summer i had 13inch bass hammering a 6in trout swimbait .... if you want to toss some bigger baits dont be scared ,,, the hoggs will hit them and hit them hard .... i have to recomened tryin some slightly bigger baits ,,, even if you have bass olny in the 5lb range .... its a blast ...
