I think the location you are fishing is what matters more than anything. If the fishings good, you'll catch. I usually use worms since I'm with my young daughter a lot, and we catch a variety of things from blue gill, perch, bass, ect. All of a sudden we go to a lake with good fishing, and we caught all those things, but also multiple 30" pike, multiple 3+ lb bass ect, on the same worm and hook. The location is key

I ALWAYS THINK PEOPLE REEL TO FAST TOO, I TRY TO MAKE IT SO THE LURE OR FISH SEEMS INJUIRED, i love a spinner myself

Hi! What type of leader do you use for perch fishing when you know they are also lot of smal pikes around? Do you stay with a thin fuorocarbon leader (0,20 to 0,25) or do you use higher diameter? What do you think of using very thin multibrands titane leader? They seems thin enough to allow the lure to swim freely, but are they also too visible for perch at a point they deny the bites?

How do you select the bigger perch when there is a whole school? I feel that this is always the smaller ones that bite first 😅

I do usually fish perch with jerkbaits, is that not as effective as soft baits according to you?

Tycker alltid jag haft riktigt pissfiske på flukes, FATTAR inte vad jag gör fel - försöker att knycka hem det lite försiktigt och visualisera hur det rör sig sida sida lite oregelbundet och försöker hålla så lite slack lina det går, men tycker det är svårt som fan att uppfatta huggen som i regel kommer mellan knycken, när man har som minst känsla i spöet ... kanske borde testa det på ren fc istället?
