Striped Bass on Bunker Spoons
For trolling large bunker spoons, we recommend a conventional rod and reel combo consisting of a Shimano Tekota 700 reels on 8′ Tallus wire line rods (model TLCW80MHA). These rods are designed specifically for spoon fishing and wire line.
We recommend loading the reel with 40lb Monel wire. 80lb Berkley Big Game Braid can also be used but does not have quite the same sink rate. A 10ft leader of 80lb Berkley Big Game Fluorocarbon leader should be attached directly to the wire using an Albright knot or an 80lb Mustad Rolling Swivel. A variety of 9″ Secret Spoons in different colors can be effective. Click here to learn more about using the Secret Spoons!
