We'd use a light 6ft stick. With the sabiki on there we'd add a 2/2.5 oz bucktail to the bottom. This is what we would use when going after shad to live line to stripers. Gotta get them in the tank quick though as they are not very hardy fish, stripers love em though. jig slow and smooth ie. not jerky and many times you can pick up 3-4 or more at a time, a good "net man" is imperative.
To live line them, we'd use 4/0 4x trebles on 40lb mono leader, attached to the shads mouth. 1 treble for the shad 2 for the stripers
