I was able to do this in ServiceStack.redis by using,

IRedisTypedClient<ObjectName> myObj = redisClient.As<ObjectName>();

But I couldn't find any examples to do this in StackExchange.Redis.

Do I have to Serialize to JSON and then store them?

Thanx in advance.

At the current time, SE.Redis does not attempt to offer serialisation - there are simply too many different ways of doing that. I'm rather of the opinion that the library should do one thing, not 7. It should be possible to add any hybrid serialisation etc concerns simply by extension methods or other plumbing/wrapping code, choosing any serialisation strategy you choose, and any library you choose.
