The Mojo Master: Magictail Striper Special Fishing Rods
Trolling for giant Striped Bass with heavy mojos requires a specific tool. The Magictail Striper Special is a stout, moderate-action glass rod specifically designed to "swim" heavy lures and absorb the violent strikes of trophy bass.
Why the Striper Special is the Industry Standard:
Moderate Action Glass Blank: The 7’ powerful glass blank is specifically chosen for its flex, which pulses naturally during the troll to create a more lifelike lure action.
Heavy Lure Rating: Engineered to handle lures from 8oz to 32oz, making it the perfect choice for deep-water mojo and tandem rigs.
Durable Construction: Built with a 40-60# line rating to handle the heavy braid and mono used in Northeast coastal trolling.
Tournament Proven: A favorite among top charter captains from New Jersey to New York.
Technical Specifications:
Length: 7’0”
Action: Moderate / Stout
Lure Rating: 8-32oz
Line Rating: 40-60lb
