It's plenty sturdy for striped fish. Make sure you don't get weak hooks or a bigger fish will straighten them out.



Also, make sure you have a rod with some backbone or casting them is not going to be fun.


Like Jimmy said, make sure you have a rod that can handle it or you'll be miserable. I usually throw A-Rigs on my swimbait rod which is a 7'11" Heavy rated up to 3oz. I hardly feel them on that rod.
