Not a spoon, but a small round head jig with a 2" curly tail works well also and had really good luck with Johnson snare spoons last winter.

small PK spoons and PK predator spoons are my go to spoons

x2! And they work for more than just perch ;)

Hard to beat a brass n green/orange pimple and a 1/16 ounce PK in glo firetiger, tipped with shrimp or a waxie or three spikes.

I generally use the same jigs I use for Gills. Even plain Aberdeen hooks work. But no matter the lure my best luck comes with Wigglers.
-
Customer Jigs & Spins Slender Spoon works well for me. Especially in shallower water like that. I will you the 1/16 p to the 1/18oz sizes

Smallest slender spoon and northland forage minnow.both with chain added.

13 fishing oragami spoon
acme rattlemaster

Without a doubt my go to perch killers are Hali's, in the white with gold stripes and the one with white and green body and orange head. Both are glow in the dark and they are killers. I have had problems with the chains breaking on bigger perch, over 12 inches and walleye on the Hali's and other spoons with chains. Sooooo, I take the chain off and add a small split ring with a hook on it. No more losing fish to chinzy chains.

I use chartruse , red , orange , and glow most all are silver slab grabbers thin profiled I do have a few fatter profiled ones but .. always pay attenion to the flasher when fishing beaded spoons some time the bite is on the fall and they ignore the rise some time jigging actively triggers a bite.. a lot of it depend on the graph.and what your seeing..

i like the clam mino spoon, swedish pimple, and the CJ&S slender spoon, but for perch i don't think you need to get too hung up on brand. in that shallow of water, weight's not gonna be much of a concern, though i've found that a larger spoon always selects for larger perch, even if it's just cuz the little ones can't get the hook in their mouth.

Around me guys are always using chartreuse Hawger Jig A Whopper tipped with perch eye or minnow head. If you're wanting some reading, click over to Saskatchewan sub and check out blackstrap yearly posts. Plenty of talk of perch bait. Personally I stick with a 5mm tiger strip tungsten with perch eye or minnow head. GL
