SWIMMING PLUGS

Swimming plugs remain the most iconic and productive lures for Striped Bass. Designed for that irresistible side-to-side swimming action, these baits perfectly imitate the Striper’s favorite meals Menhaden, Herring, Mackerel, and Spearing.

From sliders and darters to deep divers and needlefish, each plug works a different level of the water column, letting you target fish from the surf to the bays. Some days, Stripers prefer the subtle glide of a Madscad, while others can’t resist the tight wobble of the Shikari 145 jerkbait or the bold action of the Maverick.

HEARTSTOPPING HITS

TOPWATER TIPS

Every angler lives for that explosive topwater Striper strike. Striped Bass are aggressive feeders that crush big surface lures, delivering some of the most adrenaline-filled action in fishing.

The Chug Norris popper is loud, tough and built to call fish up from deep, while the Dartwing pencil popper delivers a subtle walk-and-glide action. The Riptide stickbait and Maverick create an irresistible surface presentation that draws crushing strikes.

Never chase Stripers without a topwater and twitchbait combo in your arsenal.

TROLLING FOR STRIPERS

When Stripers are staging deep or cruising fast during spring and fall migrations, trolling is one of the most effective ways to target trophy fish.

The Nomad DTX Minnow is a proven Striper trolling lure, featuring a lifelike profile and patented Autotune™ system that helps it dive deeper, run straighter, and perfectly imitate baitfish like Herring and Menhaden. For targeting bigger fish at higher speeds, the Madmacs delivers extreme trolling performance with unmatched stability and vibration.

If you’re serious about catching giant Stripers, a DTX and Madmacs trolling spread should be your go-to weapon.
