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.

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 ...
