Bought 6 x Hansen strippers (white ) for this season, but got them in 22g's... is this too big for seatrout?? more for bass?? What size do you usually use for ST's?

It depends on the stamp of fish you are likely to catch...15g is a good all around size if you can find it. Some of the areas I fish are swamped with tiny ST and the larger sizes (the strippers get progressivly longer from 17g onwards) help to avoid hooking these smaller fish and making mincemeat of their mouths.

Match the 15g with a suitable rod and 10lb braid and you'll have a set up that will cast more then far enough.
