Quick take
A 5 in, 2 1/8 oz slow-sinking saltwater lure engineered for long casts in surf and dam tailouts.
This Silver Flash Striper Strike is the smaller size of the family, 4.25 inches long and 1.5 ounces. It sinks slowly, so you can work it quickly just under the surface like a fleeing baitfish. The weight suits long casts from the surf or below a dam when you are after striped bass.

Skip if

Strengths

Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
