Ordered these for striper fishing,

[WeednFeed]

Hey folks. I did a few days of stripper fishing May 2016 I used my trout spinning gear! I decided to get a starter set up for the big fish we have in the area of my home. It is very common for folks to catch 15-20 pounds a lad at work caught one 45 inches 36 pounds.

I received $110 of gift cards for my 60th birthday this may so I ordered these. what do you guys think for the first beginner set up?

thanks Weed

That's a smooth looking Open bail reel there!  That should do the trick!  Will be a nice set up there!  I run all my gear the same..It's simple and does the trick

Seems like a good set-up for stripers Weed&Feed.

Stripers are my absolute favorite game fish and I've caught thousands of them in and around the San Francisco bay over the last 40 years. The best lures I've found for them are white lead headed jigs called hair raisers, and by far the best casting bait is the Cotton Cordell rattle traps. You can troll or cast with them, and they never fail to produce results when stripers are in the area. Just be careful unhooking them from the mouth of a pissed off fish. I've buried one or more of those big treble hooks in my fingers, and had a couple removed at the hospital. Still worth it.

Thanks for the great info. I think I have some of these lures, I'll make sure to pick a few more. I have about a 100 yards left of a 1500 yard spool of Power PRO green braid left. I'll be using that for my line.....I really like the Power Pro!

A 100 yards is cutting it kind of close. I generally use at least 150 yards of 12 to 15 pound test line.  But I troll a lot too, so if you're casting it's probably good.

Sorry that should have been 1000 yards.............my bad typo! lol.

Well my new Cabela's rod and reel showed up, the reel is great BUT THE ROD HAS BEEN SENT BACK there was very little glue under the reel seat and the seat moved quite badly. I sent the rod back this morning.

So last night knowing the rod was going back I went to a local shop and bought a Penn BATSF1220S80 8 foot 2pc rod very nice
