Hey Goose,

We used to carolina rig lizards and stick worms for largemouth/smallmouth. A couple years ago, I bought a carolina rig weight set and some large 10" lazer eye plastic worms that look just like eels to try for stripers. I've given it about 20 minutes a couple times, but at off times when nothing else was working (or there were no fish around). There's no reason it won't work, but I just haven't given it alot of time.

But I've used the weights to get eels and herring down in deeper water when drifting.

But I fish for stripers the same as I would freshwater bass alot of the time. Jerkbaits and grubs and I use alot of "walk the dog" type topwater lures like zara spooks.

And vice-versa... I'm likely going to do our traditional "guys" canadian fishing trip this fall and I'm gonna bring some of my saltwater tricks. The lake has alot of shiners, and juvenile pan fish, so I'm gonna castnet some to try for some lunker largemouth.
