Hello from South Carolina folks. Striper are one of my favorite fish to fish for. I'm sure y'all have heard of striper delights by Lyman? My dad's best friend poured jigs and tied bucktails for him, and he taught me. For a while when he was younger he never bought lures...he just tied them himself. I've got hundreds of his bucktails to unload, so look for them in the BST section. :)
