What size two handed rods and lines do folks use for fishing Stipers in the Monterey bay?
Dang. That is too cool!
Any one try throwing line like this with a switch rod or spey? Excuse my ignorance I've never cast either but was wondering if it works and what would be the set up if one was to do so.

I think they use Rio Outbounds?
I will check for you.......

I have three Switch rods for Monterey Bay. Method 8 wt for Stripers, Method 7 wt for Stripers and perch and Method 6 wt for perch.
My preferred lines are Rio Outbound Shorts as it's hard for me grabbing thin running lines in the surf. I have no issue with running lines on the Delta or San Luis but in the saltwater it's another matter.
Most of the folks I fish with are using Spey rods with a mixture of integrated and running lines with the appropriate grain weights for their rod.
The majority of us cast OH but Mark Won has perfected Spey casting in the surf. It's pure magic watching him fish.
The Monterey Bay has a year around Striper fishery but we only get big fish (generally over five pounds or so) during the summer months.
I hope this helps
Thanks folks,
I've been shooting line on the beach for a few seasons now from Santa Cruz to SF and have been considering the two handed set up for added distance. I've looked at the double overhand surf specific setups that have been advertised recently, but have always been intimidated by figuring out grain weights and such. Its seemed that a switch rod would do the trick but was never sure. So, double overhand casting with a switch rod is a thing?! Lost coast outfitters is the only shop "locally" now...... you all have given me something
to reconsider.
Great..........now for the research and funds.
Thanks again
J. Ice
I'll keep an eye out for you Lee
