Striper setup

[njdevils908]

Looking to get into jigging for striped bass on some atlantic highland party boats this coming fall. Was wondering what's a good set up to get. Willing to spend money for quality just nothing that's out of this world expensive. Thanks in advance.

Greetings. I don't post much publically. You can see I have posted 100 something times in almost 4 years.
What set-up do you prefer ? Spinning or Conventional ?
I jig for stripers with either / or.

Tight lines,

Conventional

On your way to Atl. Highlands stop in and see Pete at Atlantic Bait & Tackle on Rte 36.
He's a sponsor on this board, a great guy, and won't steer you wrong.

starting at the bottom, the set up I use for guests on the boat is 6'6" uglystick intercoastal with a matched Shakespeare tw30 conventional reel. I have had 4 of these setups for 5 years now and none have failed in any respect, with the exception of 1 tip eye. probably less than 100 bucks and I have used them often myself. feel free to spend as much as makes you feel good but these setups have hauled a ton of 30 and 40 pound stripers with no problems. good luck shopping!

I'd look at the Avet sxj reel.

IMO $ for $ Avet is your best bet as far as a reasonably affordable conventional reels.

Stop at Atlantic Bait and tackle...Pete will give you very good advice.
