lures for perch???

[FishingNy03]

new to ice fishing, just looking for some ideas for perch lures? sizes and colors..thanks

If you are looking for Jumbo perch, I have had great luck with a small chubby darter in perch color. For more numbers, you can't go wrong with a small Swedish pimple, silver with a bit of chartrues and tipped with a mousy.

Try the smallest jigging Raps. The more red on it the better.

My favorite is a swedish pimple with a dropper. Size 2,3,4 works - just make sure the size gets you to the bottom quickly.  I'm not sure color makes a difference, but keeping it moving does.  Others, kastmaster, shucks lures and the smaller jigging raps W2, W3.  unlike the spoons, jigging raps don't need bait.  Unless you are using a treble dropper with a bead.  That's what I use.

I really like the clown color jigging rap.

I take off the belly hook and replace it with a Hali chain.


Works awesome.  It attracts them from a distance and then they hit the bait on the Hali chain.


Hope this helps,

Wiener

Can not go wrong with a swedish pimple. Some of  my other favs are doodel bugs, frostie spoons,Northland forage minnows,maramooshkas and hali jigs

I've had really good luck also with the Rattl'n Flyer spoons.  Bare metal can work very well at times.

I use Pimples and Raps. These are confidence baits for me and I fish them well.  Find a bait you fish very well and then experiment with size then color. If you fish it well and you have confidence in it you can catch them on anything that is mentioned in this thread. Good Luck and tight lines

i use a buckshot kastmaster or a swedish pimple any color works with a minnow head on it.

also try techni-glo frostee lures.  my fave color is white.  the smallest size of len thompson works really good aswell.

All these perch came in half a day to a plain hook with a fathead... Use an old school jig stick with as big a sinker as you can find to get back in the zone quick! Eyes work good too... they are tougher

My favorite to use a swedish pimple size 2 glow color or green tipped with a couple of colored maggots, or i use the glow red Genz Worm tip with some bait...

[VT snotrocket]

My go to lure is a rapala jigging rap 5/16 2" body in rainbow trout or perch color. Also like #2 Swedish pimple in silver with a 2" dropper tied to it. I tip the hooks with spikes on both.

[lundin-loading]

forage minnows in both perch colors and the green red and white halis jigs. cant believe more people havent said hali jig theyre the shizzle. also any generic ice fly in green/yellow with red dots...all tipped with pink maggots or perch eyes.
