Wipers or hybrids as they are know are a combination of the striped bass and a white bass. The cross could be a male striper and female white bass or the just the opposite cross. Wipers are not as streamlined as stripers but have the characteristic large tall which gives them tremendous power. They are tall like a white bass with broken stripes across the middle of the body. They are pound for pound stronger than either parent species and are highly disease resistent. They combine the bull like power of the striper and the erratic side to side motion of white bass making fights unreal. They can get as big as 25 pounds with 10 pounders being a very quality fish. I know there are some Jersey lakes that have hybrids so you should really give them a try. They can be caught throughout the day light period which makes them an attractive outlet when stripers are not blitzing the surf. These fish are some tough cookies!
