Long time bass fisherman needs some advice on a striper rod!

I mostly use Loomis and Powell rods for my bass applications on most lakes.. I have gotten into striper fishing on the feather and sacramento rivers. I like to fish with cut bait and drift minnows. I am looking for a good rod decently priced about $100-$150 max or cheaper! I will be using a shimano cardiff with the rod. Any help would be appreciated!!

I use several of my rods for multi purpose fishing. My Powell 711MH is used for cranking a punker and baitfishing. If I want to go with a shorter rod for baitfishing, I use my Powell 735MH.

I use a GLoomis 804 for stripers on the Sac. I use it to throw plastic

Hmm I have an 854. What kind of plastics do you throw? I heard black worms... but have no idea where or how to fish them in this current! Im not use to current I like lakes! Iv'e cought them on jigs in like whirl pool type areas but those are hard to find.

I'm using giant grubs. The body is 3" long and the tail is 5" long, 8" total length. The body is black with red flake and the tail is white. I'm throwing them on 1/2 -3/4 oz heads with a 6/0 hook. Fishing from a boat, just cast to the bank and retrieve.

I'll give that a shot, I appreciate the information! Maybe I'll see you on the water. I'll look for the giant grubs.
