No experience with hybrids but I’ve caught a lot of school stripers through tidal ice. Good luck jigging a Swedish pimple or kastmaster with a single in-line hook. Since 95% are under 28” I remove the barb. They tend to school up pretty tight and are very light feeders during daylight hours for the most part. They will inhale a live shiner but since not legal to keep under 28”, that’s a no go here. I don’t really know if hybrids behave the same so YMMV.
