I fish yellow perch late April into early May pre spawn and spawn on Lake Simcoe Ont. Canada.

The best is FIN "S" 2.5 I like the smelt color but have had success withal there colors.

Fin "S" also has a jig flat on top and round to the bottom, same as their Swimbait hook. It's very important to get the perch size hooks 1/8 for under 10 ft. and up to 3/16 for 30-40 ft.

Get eagle claw 214 bait hooks I like the gold ones. I bought a bunch at BPS Mass last time I was there. That's your high hook (standard dropshot setup) and the jig on bottom.

Again I like the smelt and will have both hook and jig with FIN "S" Smelt.

We do have tournaments for perch and I will not have the dropshot hook because most on the big girls will come on the jig on the bottom.

We fish perch late fall Oct -Nov in that 25-40 ft lots of fun and eating. Same setup just heavier jig.

Another live bait option is maggots get them at pet food store. I don't use them.
