[Striper Addict]

Hi, does anyone have any experience or comments with using a spey rod for striper fishing off the beaches or rocks? I am considering purchasing a spey rod and have heard some comments about the spey rod not be applicable to surf fishing. I damaged my elbow 2 years ago and slightly injured my shoulder. My assessment is that spey casting may be the way to go. Thanks in advance, I welcome any comments that will help me make a decision.

I've been using a spey (14' for a 10wt.) since 1990 and love it. If you have problems with your shoulder and arm it should help.
