How To: Slowtails For Finicky Surface Sipping Stripers

We crack the code on super finicky stripers sipping tiny hake and sand eels on the surface utilizing a slow-twitch retrieve with the new Hogy Slowtail Swimbait. Fishing out of Barnegat Inlet along coastal New Jersey with Capt. Rob Radlof of Waterman Charters, we push through some sloppy seas to find pretty epic surface feeds of southbound Striped Bass.
