i used the 8" and they look very nice and did have a bump one night . I didn't connect , but thats okay. I have the confidence in them from the fact that i got the hit. I just hope the 8" isn't too large, but as we know stripers are capable of eating big baits.

Daiwa Sol from land in mh has been fun rod for me. I have the 7' mh 3/8-1, but they offer heavy options.

If not dunking you will be amazed by Stradic 5000 I had the FK model and never had a knot. I can’t recall bringing in much even close to 20 lbs or anything. But I think fine for 15 or less from beach. Best of luck. The reel was under a lb. Like 10 oz. No need for heavy braid . Daiwa bg 4000 is also similar. Landed stripers to 30” with thst reel. Using 9 odm. Again no wind knots . Braid can get expensive and the reels I mentioned are reliable. But may lack for ability to throw the larger plugs/jig heads.

I also got mine on a chicken scratch bomber- ordered the Pearl yellow from cabelas catalog, I believe it was a jointed could be mistaken. Saw the fish in the surf prior to catching (tailing like a bonefish) . It was. Short bass. 10 years later something happened in a totally different state. Tailing striper. Pearl yellow bomber (jointed I believe) probably same lure. Crazy. But true. -
I picked up all white I believe with pink under chin, only made a few casts, I think I got the biggest. Only have made a few casts, I feel more comfortable with single hooks. I think I had lures that stayed closer to bottom when I pulled this lure out. Also one night I may have opted against for those I felt more comfortable with. Just wanted to say that

One thing I wanted to add as someone who fishes. I don’t like that the saltist back bay has a switch on the bottom which and the lack of line capacity. I have a bgmq and it’s very smooth and capable. on the opposite not le the BG mq requires a tool to get into it although I believe you can access from under the reel. also the backbay has an aluminum gear set which is supposed to be like the drive gear most similar to much more expensive Daiwa reel. Sorry if this gives you any confusion- but wanted to chime in.

That was me sir! Thank you. Anyways . Always enjoy your thoughts and would like to meet you one day. All the best for a good 2023

Just wanted to say I’m enjoying Spheros swa 5000. Purchased mid summer. Maybe fished it 10 times, no worse for wear. Handled fall bass schoolie healthy ones well. Paired with 9’ surf rod. 30 lb suffix. Braid. Probably should have gone 6000 but I had previous model in 5000 and thought I’d do it over with the new model. My only gripe with previous model was the gear ratio was too slow for me on the Spheros sw 2104. Also after a few season it’s become a little loose in the handle and some other areas I enjoyed it for tossing bloodworms in the spring. Newer one I can plug with. Very happy .

Didn’t have shot at multiple fish but was at the right spot this weekend to catch and release a keeper, it was pretty cool to get in on the bunker bite as it normally doesn’t occur for me while fishing from land. It was a ball moving right to left and I used tactics I’ve spent so much time reading about. The good thing was everything g just worked out great.

I won’t divulge , but I can say it was someone on here’s favorite color.
