I have used it as well for stripers and it has worked when other baits won't. First cast out for me in the back of White Oak I caught a fish with it, I was really suprised to reel up a drum. I have neve caught a drum in Cumberland, it was a first for me. A few weeks later I was fishing white Oak around 3 boats all casting to the same school busting shad left and right. No one got a hit except me I landed 2 stripers with it and they absolutely would not touch anythig else I or the other guys were throwing. It does work for sure.
Works best for me on a Medium bass rod with 12 lb fireline and 12lb floro leader. The feel is much better to get correct speed to make bait flutter. Good luck to all that gets one.
