what kind of lures can i buy for stripers that arent too expensive to start off with and then maybe work my way up as i go .pictures of them would help too.

Bombers, Mambo Minnow's and Redfins, all the 7" kind are usually six or seven bucks each. They all produce too!

Like these.

bucktails... white, chartreuse, wine.

send me a pm with your shipping info- i can send you a couple from my stash :uhuh:

Can I send one too??:jump1:

me as well,... i have a few "extras" i can send your way. just keep in mind, they will be lightly used.

Diawa SP minnows, cordell swimmers and pencils, tsunami swim shads. Of course you cant go wrong with anything from afterhours either...

All depends on where you are fishing and with what tackle. I completely agree with the bomber style lure - very easy to use, can be purchased anywhere, and work in many different places. I would also add Tsunami / Storm swim shads for the same reasons. I also like sluggos or similar type baits rigged either on lead heads or just with plain hooks. Lastly buy a some type of a metal spoon, either a Kastmaster, Hopkins, or better yet a Pt Jude. That will be for when you need to cast far and also for when the blues are around.

Not to steer you away from wood or anything like like and AH puts out some sweet stuff (in fact I just bought a herring colored pencil I can't wait to throw) and his needlefish are the first out of my bag but the above won't break the bank and can be used almost anywhere by any skill level.

I think the best advice is to look for a reputable tackle shop in the area, go there and ask your question. Say you don't want to spend a ton and mention where you plan on fishing. Good luck!

Sluggo's

i sent afterhours ,rappin mikey and massbassman the address they requested. the twins and my self want to thank you guys very much for offer. this sight is the best. also well be fishing the canal at the rr bridge end ,mass maritime and around wareham /onset area

send me a pm with your shipping info- i can send you a couple from my stash :uhuh:

:kewl:[

to massbassman . lures arrived today ,matt,ryan and myself thank you very much as we are sure to use them when we go to the canal in a few weeks. again we thank you

hope you and your boys enjoy them... and good luck!

That's what makes this site great!

For the canal ...jigs with rubber tails like sluggos , fin S Fish a,d my favorite , 8 inch curl tails. Also surface swimmers work well at slack tide.

Go to M+D's in wareham , maybe 15 minutes from where you plan to fish , the owner Mike will tell you what's the hot lures at time.

m&d s is were i bought our set ups for salting.mike is the man for all info and tackle.

plugs mailed.

to afterhours ,package arrived today. thank you very much ,cant wait to try these badboys out

superstrike isnt too bad either, less than 20 bucks for some really great plugs. A little bit more than some of the others posted but still not too bad.

I pour my custom LedgeRunner plastics, so obviously my answer is simple; give me an assortment of jig heads from 3/8oz to 4oz and plastics from 4" to 9" and I can catch everything that swims in 1 foot of water or 100 foot. You can't get any more economical or versitle than that.

learn and master the bucktail....you will not be disappointed..alot more to it then most people realize

hey, I could use some direction too....(and new lures!!) ;)

Storm shad lures- 5 or 6 inch- under 5 bucks for 4 lures....

Or a bucktail jig- white one ounce will catch under most conditions....
