Default Re: Party boat striper setup

Jay---- How much is enough top shot ?
My typical set-up when clamming is :
50lb braid----albright knot to go thru guides, then to 6-10 ft of 30 lb mono--( is that okay )
then fish finder rig, then swivel---then 4 to 6 ft of 17 or 20lb flouro snelled to a 5/0 or 7/0 octopus. Is that too many connections ?

Never had a problem when I fish my own boat, but will be doing more party boats this year due to engine issues. Appreciate input.

Salt life----- I go bigger than the 2 ft leader you described as I'm convinced the stripers see the fish finder rig only 2 feet away. Just my opinion.

Tight lines gentlemen.
