What's your go-to perch jig? And where can I get one?

Idahogator · « **Reply #1 on:** Dec 23, 2015, 12:26 AM »

Welcome thinandgreasy.

My fav is not really a jig but, a spoon: Buckshot Rattle Spoon, by Northland, and is best used with a dropper.

I have a profile?? Sorry. Nube here. Haha.

love those buckshot rattle spoons, I believe you can get them at Scheel's in Great Falls

chasin eyes · « **Reply #4 on:** Dec 23, 2015, 09:16 AM »

Halis. (they have a dropper chain). Can get them at most Scheels, Cabelas, etc... Buckshot rattle spoons are a close second..

Hali's or Gitzit Little tough guys for me.

Idahogator · « **Reply #6 on:** Dec 23, 2015, 11:37 AM »

Well, thinandgreasy, we're almost neighbors, ha.

I best say my second choice is a Lindy Perch Talker, green, sweetened with just one euro larva.

Tungstens jigs, whiptails, lead maggots, crappie candy...all made by Petes Tackle here in Montana. Check out the sticky at the top of the forum. You won't be disappointed.

Hali's, Buckshots w chain dropper, or any other spoon with a chain style dropper attached. They all work.

1/8 oz red lindy rattl,n flyer tipped with 3 1in gulp shad killer for jumbo perch most any place you go

montanaice · « **Reply #10 on:** Dec 23, 2015, 03:00 PM »

1/8 ounce swedish pimple green with maggot

Idahogator · « **Reply #11 on:** Dec 23, 2015, 03:39 PM »

Now we're getting into details ~ small is good to begin with. Only the "noisy" rigs to bring them in, if they're not close.

After you catch one, it's time to get nasty & go with the best perch bait, it's eye.

hoofer · « **Reply #12 on:** Dec 23, 2015, 04:45 PM »

caught bigger and better on gulp instead of gouging the eyes out of perch plus when you take one eye they swim in circles

I euthanize the perch before removing the eyes. The larger end of a paperclip, down in, circle completely, carefully pull so the optic nerve remains.
Retain the carcass, scale the belly for cut bait ~ the shiny inside is killer for most fish !

Gouging reminds me of the Spanish Inquisition.

My favorite jig is the Sasse glow fry in super glow orange tiger.

Idahogator · « **Reply #16 on:** Dec 23, 2015, 05:46 PM »

Is this another...whsts your favorite lake thread?

Golden Trout · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 23, 2015, 07:56 PM »

I use to go with Halis, but the chain kept on breaking all the time. Anybody know of something like halis that I can use with a stronger chain? Currently I use a small kastmaster

Replace the chain with 6-8lb test and add a glow hook.

They make stinger hooks for open water jigs like northland fireball I've used those to replace chains its mono but stiff or just use short piece of thicker floro its not a chain but works the same

It does the same function as for as landing whats on the hook but, no attracting rattle of the chain.

Buckshot spoon lol but ya there's something to be said about a hali spoon

lundin-loading · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 23, 2015, 09:47 PM »

The chains on the clam speed spoons are way stronger than halis, watched my buddy land a 6lb pike with one

wolf777 · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 23, 2015, 10:13 PM »

I guess I'm an outlier. I never get let down by jammer jigs. Just have to key on color and it's on. Seems to work on small ones or jumbos and picks up about any other species that stroll in.

vicster · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 23, 2015, 10:19 PM »

PK flutter fish for bigger or aggressive fish, Hali type for when they are looking but not committing to the PK's.

Idahogator · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 23, 2015, 10:54 PM »

From the archives, as to what size chain from The Ring Lord. (the link is above in reply 21 & says "Here").

1/4 oz Ratt L Trap in firetiger or yellows and oranges. Calls em in, and bigger ones usually smash it. For finicky fish, tip those trebles with Gulp Maggots, or call the school in then drop down tungsten fiskas jig with one maggot or plastic tail. Little atom Nuggies are sweet for that setup!
