Hi guys
I would like to purchase a new rod and reel to target strippers from a tinboat in coastal saltwater but I don't know which one to buy... there a so many... ideally it would be great if I could also use it in freshwater to target pike. right now I have a medium action bassproshop IM6 graphite series and a pflueger president's reel but I feel it will be too light for bigger fish like that.
Which one would you recommend?
Thanks!
Damien
 
We use 8 foot medium rods for fishing stripers on the cape with 2500 size reels. Nothing more fun! Your combo will work fine. What pound and kind of line are you using?

I use 8-12lbs trilene xl line usually but I target bass or pickerell. what line do you recommend for strippers? at least 16-18lbs?
