Using the Mepps technique, the best combo is a very smooth-reeling bait casting reel like Lew's or Curado and a shorter medium action rod, which for me in the $15 Shakespeare Durango 5'6" rod or the $15 Tournament Choice Angler 5'6" rod sold by Academy. The shorter rods don't shake as much as I reel the Mepps with the rod pointed toward the line - the most effective way to work the Mepps. The Angler rod is very light weight making casting all day for whites less tiring.

I have a few different rigs, but my choice is a inexpensive Garcia Ambassador bait caster, on a 7'med/heavy rod, using 17-20# mono line. I use basic stren. I prefer floro, but i am to cheap to buy it. I like the garcia because of spool allows for alot of line. I usually troll for stripers with umbrella rigs. I let out 100-150 yards of line. The battle is great.

My old set-up was a 6' 6" MH Bionic Blade mated with a Curado e7.
Now I normally grab my 7' 3" MH Kistler Argon mated with a Curado K CU200XGK 8.5:1.
