@2:02 you can see a line sider emerge from the dirty water at the plug’s 7-8 o’clock closing in on it. So cool

[@maritimeus]

@@josephdiorio2790lol, I have some…I’m not as desperate as OTW to keep their sponsors 😂

[@Soily55]

Joe you need more close up shots of your hook ups jig heads, soft plastic,etc.

[@jamesjannell8706]

Well done. Enjoyed that. I'm also running a few saltist mq 4000 spinners for plastics and plugs and love the weight and power these little buggers have. So much fun on lighter tackle with these stripers. Cheers 2024

[@joshuariddensdale2126]

I bought two Yo-Zuri Mag Poppers. Can't wait to try them out come summer for stripers and blues when I saltwater fish from shore (the head boat, at least in RI, stopped doing their nighttime striper trips some years ago).

[@jamesjannell8706]

You will love those zuri mag poppers. Had great success with stripers on cape last fall.

[@ProtectYourNecks]

Are you ever going heavier than 30lb braid while fishing out at Block Island?

[@josephdiorio2790]

Not really

[@MrWallaland]

Is there a size range of inline circle hook you like when bridled?

[@georgecooney8657]

How is it you are not using circle hooks as required?

[@josephdiorio2790]

Bkk inline heavy circle hooks are what we use😊
