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 |

Re: Party boat striper setup
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!

Re: Party boat striper setup
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. |

Only some times in a blue moon do the mates cut peoples braid.. Never had an issue.. Extreme tangles then yes.,. mite happen..

Re: Party boat striper setup
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. |

Re: Party boat striper setup
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
