Comment by John Sheehan on April 16, 2017 at 6:13pm: 16th oz. Marabou Jigs un tipped once the water gets 64 degrees equals Yellow and White Perch .The retrieve that triggered was slow steady reeling with rod tip jiggles and occasional pauses.

Comment by John Sheehan on November 10, 2016 at 5:48pm: Big time hats off to Mr.Dick Tabbert whose recent timely post about floating Jigheads reminded me to explore this Perch getter again after several years of negligence. I've been getting plenty of small Perch in my home lake with the split shot /Floating Jighead /Crawler piece but today i revisited a different lake and in 5-10' of water got two, between 11-11.5" using a Mr. Twister Floating Jighead,#6 hook tipped with a crawler . 3rd ,11.5" Perch took a small Nungesser soon tipped with crawler piece attached to a spinner rig another favorite panfish rig.
