favorite gear for jigging or live- lining stripers ?

What's your preference -? Spinning or Conventional? Rod/reel type? Length, size, etc.

I just bought a Shimano Teramar spinning rod model TMS E70 H, 7 foot power heavy action fast lure weight 1 to 4 ounces power pro weight 30 to 65 paired with a Shimano Bait Runner 6000 D

Gloomis pro blue rods 15-30, 7' w shimano thunnis 8000 or talica 8

My custom Kevin Bogan 7' MH with Shimano Thunnis 6000 ..... works Great!!

Spinning. I use a 7' custom stick with a daiwa saltist 5000 30lb braid.

Shimano Teramar spinning paired to a Shimano Bait Runner 4000. 30# mono

Definitely spinning I have a Penn Liveliner V that I like paired to a Bogan rod. The new Liveliner VI is sweet but you can get a great deal on the V at tackle direct while they last. If not the Penn then the Daiwa baitrunner.

A 7' MH spinning rod is probably the best bet for this with 17-20lb mono or 30lb braid.

Casting/Jigging 7 foot medium spin... Drifting/live lining 7 foot medium conventional.

I think the conventional rod gives you a little more feel and better fish on leverage. They don't however cast as well and are not as light weight as the spinners for working and casting all day for an old fart like me

I’ve been using a pair of GLoomis Saltwater series 843Cs paired with a Shimano Calcutta 400 since the late 1990’s for jigging inshore stripers and bluefish. Reels were spooled with #20 Momoi diamond mono (I prefer mono when jigging for the extra cushion the mono provides and I tend not to pull as many hooks as those using braid—but that’s just me). Must have caught 1000s of fish on both rods. Sold them at a flea market over the winter and now going to use the GLoomis Pro Blue 843C with the same reels. I’ll use the spinning version of the rod when I’m jigging bluefish out at the Shark River Reef where the water is from 70-100+’.

For live lining, I’ll bring both a spinning rod (Loomis Pro Blue 843S) with a Shimano baitrunner reel and a conventional (Rogue SW705) rod with an Abu Pro Rocket 7000 reel. Both rods 7th’. The spinning rod I’ll use for snag & drop (although I don’t think we’re legally allowed to do that anymore) & the conventional for getting the bait to the bottom on either a slider or 3-way rig.
