Looking to get into some striper action...

[Jenn]

Is this going to be a rare thing? Or when you get a sweet fish on and get hooked, are you going to turn into a saltwater junkie like the rest of us?

John???? some people can enjoy the best of BOTH worlds ya know!!!!!!

mtnbrz1......I picked up a 6'med-fast st.cr this spring (I prefer spinning) for fresh water and WISH I could bring it with me to the salt........I love it so much.....but I KNOW SANTA wants to bring me a Ben for xmas!!!!!...

but for the beach I have an eight foot daiwa sealine X that has been very versatile (and fairly inexpensive BTW) I can get better distance with it than my larger rods....cast all day and not get tired.....and it can handle anything from the soft plastics to 2-3oz lures & bucktails (not to mention being pounded into the sand a time or two....oops) and 14-17 pound test is more than suffice!
