[Foul Hook]

Not for nuttin. Grab a stick and start swinging. I started using the pole I used for everything and moved from there. If you get the bite down on a stick you own already, just use it. Then when you get it down and are catching fish , the bite will change.. lol.Guys I fish with have 500$ rods and I out fish them with a 200$ outfit. Good luck, have fun!!

I second Foul Hook. 30lb test on a Jigmaster jr or Squidder jr and a rod capable of handling 12 oz of lead. The same gear that I just used to catch Stripers last week. I have caught more Tog on mono than braid. Just use what you have and tweak as you go. I hate to see someone spend a lot on tackle and decide that Togging isn't for them.
