Fresh water striper?
Salt water Striper?
From the bank or shore?
From a boat?
There are many variations as you see, I will answer the ones I know about.
Fresh water from a boat, we troll with big shad or minnows on a big hook and heavy weight. let out about 20-30 foot of line and tie a small balloon on this will set your depth which you can adjust. now let out more line so the balloon is way back of the boat.
When you get into a school, start throwing big silver spoons or kastmaters.
Surf fishing for saltwater stripers: Use a really long pole designed for surf fishing, a really big circle hook, and a really heavy weight, use fresh clams for bait.
I have never fished for saltwater striper from a boat, nor freshwater striper from a bank, so I can't tell you about that

I dont know if you talking about saltwater, but if your talking about freshwater, I use these rigs.
Using shad or some other live bait, I generally tie a 3 way swivel on, on one end I tie a 1/2 oz - 1 oz lead weight depending on current and/or wind. The other I use a 12 - 18 inch leader with a 4/0 circle hook. I fish this rig so that it bumps bottom as the boat drifts.
I mostly use a 2 oz slab for striper and hybrid fishing though. White, chartreuse or silver colored works best for me. I fish it mostly straight down just off the bottom, jigging it sharply up and down. Occasionally I reel it as fast as possible all the way to the surface then drop it back down. If the stripers are hitting the surface I just cast it into the middle of them and generally get a strike.
Here is a link to a good slab http://www.sixoldgeezers.com/ad.html
its got some more tips on using them, you can buy some just like those at Bass Pro.

I don't know where you're fishing, but I fish for stripers on lake texoma, on the TX/OK border.
Late April/may real good topwaters in morning and evening, I like 5" silver chuggers. Afternoons are good with live bait suspended on a leader about 2' under an egg sinker.
Fall: good to chuck sassy shads and coho minnows, chartreuse and glow work real well.
When it gets cold, locate schools down deep and rip green and white slabs through them.
Just look for birds working, then you'll find the fish. I've found this works well all through TX, hope this helps where you are.

When I fish for striped bass here in the Chesapeake Bay, I use a medium action rod with appropriate strength line. I use a leadhead with a 8" soft plastic curly tail in white or chartruese. Another good bait is a live eel, if you can obtain them. Also Mann's Stretch 25 is a great lure when trolling.
Good Luck.

Use a three-way swivel with a sinker snap. On the swivel, I use a 15" leader if I'm fishing the ocean surf. If I'm fishing a boat, I'll use a 24" leader.

GENERALLY speaking, the best rig for strypers is a bucktail with a worm. daytime use a white bucktail/white worm. nightime use a black bucktail/black worm. The weight depends on your conditions, ie: surf, inlet, boat, etc...
