Jigging Rap for Perch

Need to know what everyone is using for color and size for perch. I'm doing all my perch fishing in 25+ feet of water.
Thanks in advance

#2, usually to start, sometimes a bit bigger if needed. Color depends on the day and the forage in that particular lake. Gold, silver, perch/tiger are basics from there it's up to you

#2 glow red tiger and glow green tiger have produced for me. I'm sure anything orange, gold, or silver will work too because I generally will use gold or silver during the daytime.

I try Clown Color first, then move to perch and orange.
Hope this helps,

#2 in firetiger is my first choice, but I usually fish murkier water. Tip with some maggots or a minnow head and if the fish are aggressive, then I dont even bother with bait. Jigging Raps are my favorite search bait, and you can catch anything on them

Just where do you fish?
Up here, you'd never fill a bucket using a set up like that, usually a drop shot rig with a couple gold hooks works wonders.
I go "fancy" with a #4 Swedish pimple, a split ring and a #4 Caty jig with a perch eye. It gets to the bottom fast and when the bite is on, usually it doesn't even make it to bottom and there's already another perch hooked up.

Now there is the rub! Every set up is right, if your in the right spot.

I start with a small blue/silver rap. The active fish will crush it. I then go to a jig and waxie with a spring bobber. Pressured Perch are tentative biters, from my experience. I start big and then scale down until I start getting bit.

Smallest size jigging rapala in Perch color. Treble hook tipped with one waxie. Works for me.

I have one rod that I keep a blue/silver #2 rap on it. I never take it off. Usually start with a search lure. But often they hit the rap hard.
bluegill seem to prefer a red on right at sundown.
