Use what you have, take what you get, that's how my morning went. Hooked up with Slip nada for striped bass, but it was early so I put in a favorite freshwater river, 5 bass to 3 lbs, 4 pickeral to 2-1/2 lbs and one very hungry crappie. All on a megabait, orange belly black back, slow retreive couple cranks, let sit on top (cold water means slow), hits were very subtle and not much of a fight even on my lighter saltwater gear. Tomorrow Schoolie Monster and I are headed to CT and I'd bet my life the story will end differently
