I really like the Rio Bass line Chuck. I have it setup on a ST Croix 8wt currently. Let me know if you want to throw it.
I really became a believer over the last month throwing lead eyed clousers in insane winds chasing the whites. Edit: On second thought, let me know if you want to try it, I can just meet up and give you the reel I have it on. www.arkansasfishingadventures.com

If you want to poor-boy a bass line just cut the first 5 feet off of a standard taper line. Use a heavy leader or a butt section at the end.

I have the Rio Clouser line on my #8 xi2 and I am very happy and I throw some big flies for bass!

I also like the Rio Clouser Line. I have one for 8wt that I use for LMB and stripers.

Rio Bass is awesome for that purpose. Another "me, too!"

another cheaper option is the sci. ang headstart line. i was told by a fly shop employee that it is basically the same taper as s.a.'s bass line and the
headstart series has the same coating as their more expensive lines. runs about $40 i think.

Thanks for the info. Rio Bass it is. It is very close to the clouser in head design.

What JW said. I have a bunch of old tapper leaders that have been shorten to about 6'. Works great for throwing bigger streamers and poppers. Go to a
heavier wieght rod or you'll have a hard time turning the big bass and you lose alot of fish in nearby structure. Love fishing lake coves in the spring
from my little FishCat.
