Hi all what type of rods do you use for your striper fishing ie lenght casting weight, mainly could you just give me some info on how your set up for fishing for them strippers, our bass are a lot smaller then yours so we tend to go for 8`6" rods that have casting rating from 10g -45g some go heaver, im looking at a diferent rod that i can blast out a 1oz wood plug a good distance just to see whats further out.
thanks shark
hay sharkie...... well i fish with 20lb braid and the rods used for the surf are:
10' lamiglass ron arra series....lure wt 3/4--2.5 oz
9' st croix med pwr mod fast lure wt 1/2---2.5oz
8'6" st croix med pwr mod fast lure wt 1/2---2.0oz
run penn reels 650 ss
560 slammer
7500 ss
and sometimes but not very often ill bust out with my penn teal blue 704 which is about 45 years old........and she still manages to nail a few bass when i bring her out for a little exsersize ;)

sorry never heard of that one you have any web links ?
its a lamiglas blank, have a custom rod built using that blank. I believe the lami rod that uses that blank is the 101ms or sumthing like that.
thank you
I had a factory rod then had my friend build me a custom one using the same blank, huge difference in the custom one.
the rods i use are savage gear bushwacker and a savage gear boner

boner??? are you talking about the savage woody :)
AAAHHHH. Too Funny, Handy.
Nice looking rods. Welcome Shark!
