The combos I use for set ups and drifting for cats/stripers are pretty basic. I use the blue abu 5600's with clickers (usually 20lb line) and have had great luck with the cheap BPS flipping sticks in a heavy action. The rods collapse down into the handle and are easier to transport and are soft enough on the top end to use circle hooks. They extend to 7' or 7'6 or so. If in cover I up size my line. I also like to have a medium heavy spinning rod handy with a slip bobber rig on it for schooling channels and stuff like that.Last edited by SL1; 08-01-2021, 07:26 AM.

I have a couple of these KastKing reels. Very well made, smooth and will cast a mile with 25lb mono. https://www.amazon.com/KastKing-Rove...64497522&psc=1
