Honestly you can land a pretty big striper on that outfit, but I would go to a 6500 size reel and maybe a little bit heavier rod and that would serve you well for some very large stripers. What lure weight is the St. Croix rated for? I like rods rated in the 2-3oz category, allows you to toss most plugs, eels, plastics without feeling too heavy. Sure, you want to be prepared for a big fish, but you don't something so heavy that it just takes the fun completely out of the smaller fish.
