I totaled 35 perch and 1 tiny pike.  I got all but 1 perch on a 1/8 oz. Kasty tipped with a perch eye. I've fished for Perch all over the West and it's what I jig 99% of the time.

May I ask what a  1/8 oz. Kasty looks like? I goggled it but nothing came up. Maybe it will work in Pa. Waters

I am fairly certain it is a nickname for the ACME Kastmaster.  Comes in a multitude of colors.

Got a few last week and a few today.  Been a tough bite but the ice is still holding on. 4" on the mid-lake flats where I been finding them.
