Thread: Perch Jigging Video

What lure do you jig ? I've become a Flexit addict. Lately I've had great success with a 1/2oz. Flexit with green scale sides. I changed out the bare treble hook to a dressed hook and it's made a big difference in strikes.
I've caught several different species on it including several nice cats.
I use a medium action rod with 20# braid and 20# fluorocarbon leader. It's overkill for perch but just yesterday
a 15# cat hit it in 55 FOW so it's a precaution against bigger fish including several Stripers. So your Striper rod makes sense to me.
Great video and neat boat too.

That day I just pulled a blue and silver butterfly jig (3/4-1oz) that we used to use for Spanish offshore. Like you I'd downsized the hooks to a small red treble. After this episode, I now keep a 6.5' M Lightning rod with 15# braid and 12# mono on the boat at all times, just for a jig rod.
