Striper Spinning Reels

Striper is a popular trophy fish that is hunted by experienced anglers. After all, catching it requires skill. Stripers can reach 3-5 feet in length, and trophy specimens can weigh up to 60+ pounds. But even average-sized 1.4-2.5 foot stripers are not easy to pull out of the water. They put up a powerful resistance. High-quality Spinning Reels are a great aid to anglers. Let's understand which models are best suited for such hunting.

    High-quality Striper Spinning Reels chosen by anglers for best catch

    Spinning equipment is a great choice for hunting such strong fish. But not every model will do: you need really powerful gear. Striper Spinning reels with what characteristics are chosen by experienced fishermen:

    • Large fishing reels that accommodate thick and high-capacity fishing lines (size: from 4,000+);
    • A robust body that can withstand the load. The best option is for the materials to be lightweight. Then the angler will not get tired even when angling for a long time. Often choose models made of aluminum/composite materials;
    • Additional protection from salt. This fish has the widest possible habitat. It is often hunted not only in freshwater bodies (for example, rivers) but also in saltwater. So it is better to choose a model that is resistant to corrosion;
    • Optimal option: medium gear ratio. This will ensure a balance between power/speed;
    • A powerful and customizable friction system + a large number of bearings are a must. When pulling the striper out of the water there is a high risk of line breakage, so a high level of control + smooth operation of the reel are important;

    Perfectly suited to the angler's particular Spinning Rods. Need maximum balance so the angler can get the right level of control/maneuverability/strength.

      Why is this particular type of model worth choosing? Here are a few of the main reasons:

      • Stripers are often driven far from shore (especially when we speak about fishing at the sea). And spinning models allow you to make long/precise throws. Especially if you choose a large striper spinning reel with a big line capacity;
      • Sufficient power level and customizable drag system can handle the resistance of this big prey;
      • Adaptability for different baits/lures. Spinning models are most effective with light baits, but heavy ones can be used as well. The list of options is long: jigs, poppers, crankbaits and others;
      • Wide range of prices. You can find a more budget-friendly option compared to more professional types of gear;
      • Easy to set up and use. Even if you have little experience in fishing, such models will suit you. They are easier to master than, for example, baitcasting reels;
      • High sensitivity. With these models, you can feel even a slight nibble and react instantly.

      What lures can be used to catch a striper?

      If you want to catch fish on the surface of the water, you can use poppers (they will create splash + vibration), and for angling at depth crankbaits are good (you can pick up with different weights). Another option for catching stripers lurking on the bottom is jigs.

      Is it really necessary to buy a reel with extra corrosion protection?

      Depends on the type of body of water you plan to fish. If it's saltwater, yes. Otherwise, the mechanism will wear out quickly. If you plan to hunt stripers only in rivers, it is not necessary.
