Striper Equipment Recommendation?

[Muirco]

I just bought 2 shimano stradic spinning reels and are looking for some suggestions of rods to pair with them. I am going to use them to casting for stripers at Powell and wipers at Willard. Probably medium to large top water lures. With so many rods out there, I am having a hard time figuring out what to get. If you don't have a specific rod recommendation, can you let me know your preferred length, action, power, line rating, etc? A specific rod model would be great also. Thanks!

I have my Stradic paired with a 6’ 8” medium powered, fast action shimano convergence rod.
I look for versatility. I’d be looking for anything 6’ 6”-7’ medium power, fast action. Can’t go wrong fishing for anything in Powell or Willard with that.

I have been very happy with my mojo bass, although my experience has been mainly on ugly sticks lol.

Ugly stick medium action 6.5 - 7 feet.
Medium action is very good for trolling as it has give and helps the lure run true.

I use a medium heavy action rod but the mediums work fine. It just depends on how you get used to using the rod and then it works the best for you.

Cabelas Fish Eagle or tournament trail are good rods, and affordable. The ugly stick rods are tough, but have a terrible action for casting. They do work well for trolling....I like medium action, medium heavy is overkill on LP...I think
