Striper Sniper Adventures, a successful fishing guide service, was founded in 2003 by Troy Roberson. The guide service promoted conservation, sportsmanship, and the fishing industry while helping anglers catch the challenging and ever-elusive striped bass. Troy quickly became recognized as a subject matter expert and has been featured on television as well as numerous fishing publications over the past 10 years. In 2010, Troy made a decision to bring his extensive knowledge of striper fishing to the tackle industry when he founded Striper Sniper® Tackle. Following the same success of the guide service, Striper Sniper Tackle has quickly established itself as a brand that fisherman recognize and trust. This can only be achieved by someone with 25+ years of striper-fishing experience who also understands the complex inner-workings of the industry.
Offering a full line of plastics and trolling gear - jig heads, hand-tied bucktails, umbrella rigs, flutter spoons, sassy shads and the deadly Striper Sniper Snake Worm, Striper Sniper has just want you need for your artificial trolling needs. The Striper Sniper® Snake Worm has been the #1 bucktail and umbrella rig trailer for over 25 years! The unique tail design creates a natural swimming action that triggers reaction strikes and sends stripers into a feeding frenzy. The Snake Worm is the ultimate trailer for your favorite bucktail, umbrella rig, spinnerbait, chatterbait, or buzzbait. Each Snake Worm is scent enhanced and comes in eight color options.

Any successful live-bait striper fishing trip starts with catching the right bait and catching the right bait requires the right cast net. As anglers, we take pride in our equipment - our rods, reels, boat - and you should take the same pride in your cast-net. Tim Wade of Rockledge, Florida, has been building cast nets for over 43 years and knows the ins and outs of what makes a quality net that works in a variety of conditions. If you know what you want, Tim Wade and his team can deliver a net to your exact specifications - or give Tim a call, discuss your needs and he’ll recommend just the right net for your target bait size and catching depths.
It makes a difference when you catch your bait with a hand-crafted net. Phone: 321-729-9537 Website: https://wadescastnets.wordpress.com/ |
