Comment by John Sheehan on November 7, 2012 at 12:13pm: Caught 22 Yellow Perch slip floating Jigs and 2 YP throwing the classic Swiss Swing Spinner.Fished for an hour in a cold wet snow midday with wind from NE .Fished the NW cove off the wall that the wind was blowing to .Saw what I thought was a big bass roll but could've possibly been a real big Crappie .Only caught YPerch though.Three retreives or presentations with the slip floated Jig worked : 1) Cast and let sink at 2,2 1/2 ' in 5' of water .2) Pop float so jig rises and falls back to set level. 3)Slow constant retreive .With the spinner a slow steady retreive

Comment by John Sheehan on September 24, 2012 at 6:42am: The activity level is increasing in the shallows for Perch .They're chasing spinners like the Joes Fly,3.5.This spinner has a great thumping blade ,casts like a bullet on 4# test for good distance and has the stinger hook fly for added attraction.Its nice to see them chasing and banging instaed of just picking up jigs from bottom!

Comment by John Sheehan on September 8, 2012 at 7:36am: The Yellow Perch are starting to show up in the shallows where ever theres flowing water nearby.The same shore fishing spots I get them in early spring .They are chasing and hitting MisterTwister Spin Jigs.I used a small tube body on this one.
