Rebel minnow = 4th from the top?
The crankbaits aren't rusty like they appear in the picture.
The "tin" is actually quite heavy, heavier than the shad but I'll give the tube attached to the back a shot. Remove the triple hook, right?

So stripers aren't as likely to cut the line as a blue where you use wire leaders?

One of the best ways to learn about how to do anything is to read books on the subject. Even if you cannot afford to buy the books I am sure the library will have some available.

One to start with is: The Ultimate Guide to Striped Bass Fishing: Where to Find Them, How to Catch Them.
Others are any of Frank Daignault's books, Striped Bass & other Cape Cod fish by Phil Schwind, Reading the Water by Bob Post, and, in my opinion, one of the best for a beginner, Secrets of Surf Fishing at Night by Bill Muller.

Same here, I have a bunch of poppers that will never see the inside of my plug bag. I'd be happy to send you some to help get you started.
