Building Leaders for Striped Bass

Mar 4, 2019 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

Striped bass on the brain? We’re already prepping for the upcoming season – we get a lot of questions about what kind of leaders to rig up for sinking line. Check out this video from our friends at Hatch Outdoors, Captain Chuck Ragan describes a system that is nearly identical to what we use.

Have other questions about rigging for striped bass? Give us a shout at the shop! We carry a wide range of equipment and gear in both locations, including Hatch Fluorocarbon. We’re also booking up our calendar with striper trips already, so now is the time to start thinking about a guide trip if you would like to get on the water with us this summer.
