Striped Bass Advanced Options

Line and Rigging Preparation (Advanced) - To improve my “rigging”, I will soon be to replacing the 20 lb mono with an equivalent braided line like “Fireline”. Potentially this will help with casting distance, better resistance to wear and improved bite sensitivity due to a lower amount of line stretch.

If you are looking for a cutting edge sliding rig, guaranteed to maximize your casting distance, check out www.breakawayusa.com. They offer high end products that will elevate your surfcasting to the next level.

Often it is hard to determine what the fish will bite. Advanced anglers use two fishing poles and fish one off bottom and another casting a popper or other lure. Surfcasting lures come in a dizzying variety of colors, sizes, materials and forms. From soft plastic shads to hard plastic pencil poppers to metal Kastmasters and high quality homemade lures like those made at www.aoktackle.com, the choices are almost endless. If you are looking for a solid lure, at a price pleasing to the wallet, purchase a package of Storm 4” pearl shads. These relatively inexpensive and versatile lures are incredibly effective and hold up well to all but the most aggressive blue fish.
