    Cumberland

    I will be bass fishing on November 10 and If i was to come across a school of stripers in the jumps would a castmaster spoon or a silverbuddy possibly get a hit or is there something better to have tied on. Thanks

    Had a bunch come up beside the boat the other day, Had a jerk bait laying there chartreuse n silver threw it out and immediately it got slammed, my first one ever, 25 inch weighed 7.5 lb. I was back in the creek, seen 3 bunches come up but didnt last but a about 30 seconds, I just happened to be in casting distance of the one,

    Yes. I have used the larger cast masters. Don't have one here to look at maybe 3/4 to one ounce. Seems like you have to real it real fast. I let if drop some but maybe near the surface good too.

    I have had good luck with a magnum Pop R topwater, the blowup's from a large Striper will get you pumping.

    I generally keep one rod handy with a heavy Kastmaster in case I mark a school of stripers on the bottom under the boat. I'll drop it down & catch stripers. A very effective way to catch them. I suspect other heavy jigs would work just as well.
