For detecting bites, getting them down deep and best hooksets, all baits must be presented on rods with fast action and more bend, and reels spooled up with thin braided superline and fluoro leader, or a fluorocarbon main line
Too much chumming will often bring in too many bluefish, quickly reducing the chances of getting baits to the stripers
