I have tried chicken livers for them once with no luck- I like to use, well, just check my name!

Look really close and you can see my "go to" lure . Line: 50 lb spiderwire braid, make sure your reel has s smooth drag.

live bluegills are good if you can't get shad.

Live bait, gizzard shad, skip jack, suckers,trout.
And yes cut bait will work sometimes better than others depending on the time of year.

Artificials
Redfins, bucktails, big swim baits.

I am not a big fan of using treble hooks on big stripers though.

I do not do much stripper fishing, but I fish for them at Williamsport and we use 5" red shad and just wake them across the surface when the stippers are busting the surface. If they are not chasing shad we throw either a shad rap or rattle trap. Her is one I caught yesterday on the Duck River with a shad rap, while bass fishing.

Had some good luck using a Storm Wort Swim Shad.
