Nope. Mayfly larvae. Perch...and big gills...love "em. One hit wonders though. If you don't hook 'em on the first bite, might as well reel up and rebait. They're soft so won't stay on the hook. But like I said...they WILL hit 'em.

Perch eyeball. Tough and irresistible.

A barfed up baby perch is deadlier, but being partially digested, they don't stay on well

Both of these have the bootstrapping problem- you need to catch a perch to have either one, and of course, your local regulations may prohibit one or the other.

Chartreuse Johnson's snare spoon tipped with maggots/spikes, has worked well for me, it's something I bought on a whim.

noodle rod, 2 lb test mono (maxima ultragreen), tiny tungsten jigs + plastic/bait.

works best in shallow water, but can also fish deep if you're patient.   ;D
