Get ready to elevate your striper game with our most exciting giveaway yet! We’re giving away three complete Monomoy Tackle Striper Kits (valued at $100 each) featuring @CousinEddy’s lures that have proven their worth with Cape Cod stripers. These aren’t just random lures thrown together – this is a carefully curated collection of some of Eddy’s most popular creations.
What’s Inside Your Striper Kit
Each lure below has proven its worth with Cape Cod stripers (and other species such as bonito, albies and bluefish)!
The Dart & Talon Minnow
Why they work: These lures offer precision and long casting capability in a compact body with a tight wiggle during straight retrieves. Best used: Their true potential emerges when you incorporate twitches and jerks during retrieval. This stop-and-start action triggers predatory instincts in stripers, often provoking explosive reaction strikes from even hesitant fish.
The Z-Step
Why they work: Internal weight concentrated in the tail creates wind-cutting performance. The kit includes both 3.75" and 5.4" sizes for versatility. Best used: These excel in low light and foggy conditions, creating dramatic topwater strikes. Their weighted tail enables perfect “walk the dog” action with an outsized wake, while flashing sides mimic panicked baitfish – a trigger stripers can’t resist.
Why they work: These premium metal jigs with durable translucent coating deliver exceptional casting performance. The kit includes two 3/4oz and one 1oz jig for different conditions. Best used: Precisely designed to mimic juvenile baitfish, these versatile lures work throughout the water column – retrieve quickly near surface, sink for midwater action, or jig along bottom to target stripers at various depths.
Why they work: Zinc alloy construction delivers larger profile without added weight. Specialized tail design creates pronounced movement even at slow retrieves, while corkscrew detail keeps plastics secure. Best used: Perfect for shallow water with lighter tackle. Excel in estuaries, backwaters, and flats. Zinc’s buoyancy allows slower retrieves while staying off bottom. Kit includes 8 bonus replacement tails.
Why they work: Metal core with translucent coating creates realistic baitfish appearance. Compact design enables exceptional casting distance, while reflective finish and embedded eyes enhance attraction. Best used: Available in various colors and sizes (3/4oz and 1oz options with quality hooks). Perfect for imitating Cape Cod baitfish – retrieve quickly near surface or work vertically for deeper stripers. Each includes optional VMC treble hook.
Bonus: We’re including a premium tackle tray to store all your new Monomoy Tackle lures!
