Surf-feeding Striped Bass, Cod, Catfish, Sturgeon, and other strong bottom feeders. Can I use different baits? Yes — many anglers run clam on one hook and cut fish on the other to test what fish prefer. How do I store it? Rinse after use and coil onto a rig card or foam spool to keep droppers neat.
