I have been Striper fishing since the 1960’s, in all that time I have never Chunked, or as we used to call it, cut bait fishing.

This year that is going to change. So how about a “Chunking 101” class? I will be dunking chunks from a boat.


How about the rod and what reel? I am thinking a conventional outfit, I have to admit, I am partial to the Shimano product line.

What line? Braid Vs Mono?

How about the end of the line? I noticed a guy on another site sells what look like a nice “Hi Lo” rig. Fish Finders? Hook size? Circle or J?

Lastly bait. All things considered I probably will by buying frozen bait. (?)

So, there are a bunch of questions from a old “new-be” to chunking.

Thanks in advance!
