I find it amazing how small a bait Stripers will sometimes hit. Many times at Pickwick fishing for Bluegill with a 1/64 ounce bait I have hooked into those and more than once I have been spooled. One day I did manage to get one in that weighed 10 pounds in on 2# test line though. But you are right if you want to catch those big boys consistently everyone uses big baits.
