Played around with the hali this past weekend tipped with a mousie and minnow head. Had one hit on the mousie and missed. I did notice they attract a ton of fish on my electronics just cant get a bite. Tried multiple presentations.
Hali's are my preferred jig when I'm targeting perch. I love the extra weight they have - great for pounding bottom - and the drop chain makes for some decent action on the business end. I run some with the single hook and some with a beaded treble, but either way I load them up with multiple waxies and/or spikes.
How about minnows?...Not so much?
No mention of perch eyes as bait I use them all the time and keep a tub of them in my freezer year round. I put just enough sunflower oil on them to cover when storing. Hali's have taken many perch for me over the years using mealworms maggots and esp perch eyes.
Everyone knows a shuck's jigger blows out a Hali any day.
