Default Re: Current striper run - advice needed

With correct drag settings. You can get by with 20# but IMO fighting bigger fish that will be released your releasing a fish that will become crab food .
Wearing them out with an extended fight they will swim away and end up dead on the bottom .

Lots of fish well above 40# being caught , with the possibility every bite could be a much larger fish .

Save the 20# for later runs of smaller fish .

Tackle should include imitations of the forage they may be eating .
Ava , shads , croc spoons , top waters should all be in your bag .

This morning Ava 47 was ok , but fast drift a 67 way out fished a 47.
Need to have it and not need it , than need it and not have it
