Default Party boat striper setup

Hey guys

I am rigging up for stripers on a party boat. I have 50 lb braid on and wanted to know how heavy I should go on the mono top shot at well as how heavy of a line I should use to snell my hook. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Id use 30lbs mono or floro for your shock leader.. Then i have been using 15 or 20lbs mono as my leader to my hook.. Around 2 feet.. To a swivel.. Then a bead and fish finder weight set up..


good set up! Good luck! Hope you catch em!

I can't think of any reason for putting braid on. Once you get passed the top shot you are looking for trouble on a party boat. Tangles will happen and the mates will most likely just cut the braid.

I would go with 20lb mono and then fluorocarbon leader.

I keep the braid on as a hold over from togging and cod fishing. I hate having to re-line my reel just go after stripers and braid is definitely not cheap to be throwing away after each fish season.

I went with the 30lb mono top shot and did well on saturday. got my three keepers on Saturday using Krocs (had a bonus permit).

The 30 lb mono seemed to work really well.

Sometimes the larger leader to hook wont work.. they seem to see it or something.. other day on the water.. if u didnt have 15 or 20lbs mono to your hook you were not catching crap.. 30lbs for your shock leader and 15 -20 to hook is best..

good luck

I hear you, all of my reels have braid. Your right, it's not cheap. Just make sure, you put enough top shot. You'll should be fine.
