Must have trolling lures for stripers

[meaton39193]

What are the 4 must have striper lures( rigs, tubes, etc.) for trolling? I will be trolling on the south side of Cape Cod in 20-50ft. of water. Most of the depth will be around 20ft. I am intersted in lure selection and presentation advice. Thanks.
P.S. This sight has saved me in terms of buying a boat and electronics; now I want to tap into the fishing knowledge. Keep up the good work!

I use the following for trophy stripers on the Ches. Bay:

Large umbrellas w/ large shads (multiple colors but one color for each rig)

Large parachute/Shad tandems

Mojo Crippled Alewive Spoons w/ 9" shads

[DarthBaiter]

An umbrella rig, a Mann's stretch +25, a bunker spoon, and a tubelure.

IN THAT LOCAL A BLUE A YELLOW APINK AND A GREEN 3/8-1OZ BUCKTAIL ON 200 FEET OF WIRE during the heat of the day dusk -dawn liveline scup first then eels during the day don't expect monsters you may get a few but the big fish are dusk to dawn once the water gets above 63 or so spring would be 9'r rigs in black n chrome/ then blue then the rest late in the year labor day on tube n worm blacks and reds first then jigging wire then swimtail plastics I jig wire as my goto lure when all else fails Make sure you have a spinner setup with a hopkins,kastmaster,or deadly dick and cast at the fish that is on the line to pick up the fish that is trying to take the bait away If you fish more towards the vinyard n elizebeths I drag 8in bunker spoons on wire with 25' of 50-80 mono leader early n late in the year good luck

All great suggestions my fav is the 9ner with Mackeral plastics on wire slow and low
Santini Tubes from http://www.fishfinatic.com/ again wire slow and low
and i get tons of local advice from http://www.stripers247.com/ probably the best striper
site second to THT.

I'm looking for middle water trolling lures on braid for stripers

[Polarity]

So we lead head the scup and let out the wire... are we trolling them like we would a tube.. 1 - 1.5 kts ?
Or are we just letting the sit out there on the bottom ?

I have heard good things about this method but never tried it
Where would this work.. deep currents like mouth of Sakonnet, ledges like Elbow or like Brenton Reef ?

[Parapapam]

The 4 in order for the Cape and the Islands:

1. White 4 oz buck tail with red pork rind

2.* Dark Red 18 inch tube with worm

3.* Mackeral colored Rappalla about 5 inches

4. Black and silver Rebel about 5 inches

Good luck.* These are the basics that work for me.

Bucktails and eel umbrella rigs for deep water. Blue and/or black and silver rebels for shallow (<10') water.

I am new to trolling.......based on what I have read, the slower the better for Stipers - 1-1.5mph? Tube/Worm especially slow?

DarthB, those are the four I see consistently - can't wait to try the Bunker Spoon.

[GOODNYOU]

Near Falmouth or closer to Chatham?

I am fishing the south shore of longisland, new to trolling, do you always use wieghted line or can you use an umbrella rig connected to your mono?

These hold the all time stripper record the last lime I looked. They work on all inshore species, and offshore on both coasts, but are really too light for large +40 lb fish

Black and silver rules

I might just have to try some of those Fastrac's.

Thanks, Bull.

White bucktail with sasy shad white or chartruese blue white works well to, crippled alewie, umbrella rig, hoses, green or red

[NewMoon]

18-24" dark purple to black trolling tube........
