Gulp minnow is the best i have found. Thread it on a 1/32 jig with a #6 hook. I buy them in the jars from fisusa.

Sorry didnt even think that you might not be talking panfish! I use all sizes

1", 1/32 jig with #6 hook
2.5" 1/16 with #4 hook
3" 1/8 with #1 hook
4" 3/8 with #2/0 hook

You can adjust up 1 weight in jig head if needed, just keep the same size hook. Too big or too small of a hook will affect the hookup ratio.

I buy in jars/buckets and use plano waterproof triple latch boxes to keep them from leaking. I just dump the jars in a container by size, mixing the colors.

I keep 3 colors on hand. Black shas, emerald shiner, and charteuse shad. The luma glow i have never had good luck with, never tried the other colors.

Not sponsored by them or anything, its just a confidence bait for me year around.

I'll have to get some. I usually use the small ones, but thinking of moving up to the 2 1/2" ones for bigger perch
