I have always had luck on a 1/16 forage minnow with spikes on it. I have also had some luck with small fatheads.

I jig more than any other technique and caught my share of perch,but a dead stick or tip down set with a small tremble and fat head have for me produced the real GIANTS!

Small white grub with maggots or fish eyes have always allowed me to take home dinner.

Does anyone know if it's legal to use perch eyes as bait in Montana. I can't seem to find anything about it in the regs?

This winter I've been having amazing luck on a small Kast-Master spoon, tipped with a chunk of crawler or maggots. Have brought home a couple hundred of the tasty little suckers in the last month or so. Also caught a mess of brookies on the same thing yesterday. Awesome little lure. Drop it to the bottom, lift it up a few inches, drop it fast so it flashes a bit. They won't leave the damn thing alone.
I fish therefore I lie

 Hali (small) with a sz.18 treble on a 1" dropper of mono. Waxworms work good unless they are really being bite shy. -bite shy, perch eye! ;)

Take your thumb and push hard on the bottom of the eye socket. It will pop right out.
