I like to use a Swedish pimple tipped w three spikes as a sinker and a fathead up about 18 in. ... Usually they'll take one or the other..

Pimple with a minnow head. Eyes are not legal in So Dak!

Perch eyes are legal in SD if they are taken from cleaned fish. It is not legal to pop eyes from Perch to use as bait unless the fish are being cleaned. Page 23 in the regulations.

I agree with the Red Spikes/maggots

wax worm Minnow hooked in back/tail for a little more action Minnow head on a jig spoon of some kind. All depends on what they want that day, but those are 3 that I try most of the time if they don't work then experiment from there. Never tried the bacon here, will have to try that one this year.

Minnow head on a rattling jig worked best for me last weekend.

Previous 2 times out: jumbos on pimple w/ minnow heads; nothing with live minnows.

Anyone have any luck with the lindy perch talker and wax worms?

gandermtn · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 31, 2014, 09:45 PM »

I've been having good luck using the perch talker as a locater and attention-getter to draw them in, but haven't been catching a lot of perch on it. I have heard that some guys are doing well with it though. It seems to be too much/too big for the way they are biting right now where I am fishing. Wax worms and maggots seem to be about 50/50.

live minnow on a size 16 trebel hook on a tip down.

Jiggin rap with minnow head

Tyler883 · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 23, 2015, 10:44 AM »

I prefer a gold or silver slender spoon with a few wax works. Occassionally will use a minnow head if the waxies aren't working.

I like to use a Swedish pimple with a few waxies on it. I like the bacon fat idea. I will have to try that.

rileys44 · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 25, 2015, 10:43 AM »

Macho Minnow with a chain on it and a single hook tipped with wax worms have worked great for me this year along with a hook and small minnow.

IceGunner · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 25, 2015, 04:21 PM »

Any and all of the previous work. If the fish are active, they will all work well. If the fish are slow, lots of lookers and few takers, I switch the bait tho slivers of fresh frozen shrimp cut thin and left to dangle and dance. Gets them to bite when nothing else works.

Gill getter with a few red spikes works for me

Fryinpan · « **Reply #29 on:** Feb 04, 2015, 08:10 PM »

Kastmaster or Swed Pimple ... with ice jig dropper tipped with wax worm. It has a good attraction value...yet will hook more neutral fish as well.
