The Base kit includes Video Training as well. Elevate your Striper game, take more trips, and have more fun landing this awesome fish. The kit is specifically designed for targeting Striped Bass in Salt, Fresh, and Brackish waters. It includes all of the gear you need along with a video course on setup and fishing methods.
