Last year I had trouble casting the larger bass bugs with a 6 wt. But after reading a book on casting by Lefty Kreh (something about Modern Casting Method) I believe that 75+% of us cast wrong, including me. And I think that if I cast correctly then I'd have less issues with that 6 wt.
That being said, an 8 wt would be easier to cast large bass bugs with-- especally in the wind.
And faster action rods are a bit less forgiving but they would probably work better with the larger bugs as well.
