    I really like the Bass Kandy Delights. I use them for Largemouth Bass in Southern California. They're easy to modify due to the angled texture lines and relatively deeper hook slot. The salt water plastic they use can also be stretched to soften them up, while still being resilient. they've got a great swimming action and tail kick for a straight tail eel shape.

    I find this recent promotion of soft eels interesting. Not being a live bait guy, but wanting to experience the benefit of eels as bait, I have been throwing pre-rigged Hogys, jighead, weedless Hogys, Al Gags eels, etc. for a few seasons now and have never had any luck. I'm down for the new info. and another shot at it though ...

      Try the albie snax 9” fish snax. It’s the best casting unweighted soft plastic I’ve ever used, it can be retrieved and rigged in many ways (I prefer a BKK 10/0 titan swimbait hook, or a Gravity tackle 1 oz screwlock jig head, but any would work)

    The problems with big lures are hook coverage and air resistance. You can use hook coverage to help select larger fish because smaller ones wont hook-up, but you get to a certain size and it is absolutely diminishing returns.

      Never give anybody advice on striper fishing ever again unless you somehow found a way to attach two or three of them together to make a ~15-20” bait in which case I’m all ears. If you throw a 5-7” bait to 40lb bass eating 20” weakfish why would they ever even look at it???

I’ve caught 16 fish over 40 inches in one night throwing original Hogy 14 inch plastics. Never has any seasoned surf veteran recommended senkos for stripers before, so you just think you can come on here and lie to the audience of SCJ without being called out? You shouldn’t be allowed to even watch these videos. Or did you accidentally drop a comment here when you thought this was a video about fishing for perch and crappie?

I fished the 40 405 for Drum and Cobia off the beaches of North Carolina and Virginia. Used the rod s for tournament long distance casting and had cast over 810 ft .in practice in Shallote North Carolina 2007 NE . Open Sportcast USA event.

Now the same brand in the 11ft, I think would work fine which has a lure rating of 2-6oz.
