Jack Naves fished the California Delta for striped bass in his North River boat powered by Yamaha. He employed BnM Fishing West Point Crappie rods teamed with Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 6501 C3 reels loaded with Power Pro 65 lb test braid. For leaders he used 25 lb test P-Line CXX X-Tra Strong monofilament line in moss green. He baited raw chicken livers on Gamakatsu 8/0 inline octopus circle hooks with a straight eye (265418 INLINE OCTOPUS CIRCLE SE) using Atlas Mike's Miracle Thread to keep them secured.
