cant beat a big stripey

Yes Perch are a lovely fish, always thought if they grew to 25lb no one would fish for carp lol, im lucky enough to of caught a 4 1/4 lb perch, hell of a fish

I have similar memories of fishing the fenland drains & rivers when I was a boy. I didn't have a cane rod though, just my trusty shakespeare telescopic! There's something special about a Perch. Especially your first. They are beautiful looking fish in my opinion - almost prehistoric! Thanks for sharing.

Its hard to think, and makes me feel rather old that i used to fish this little river maybe 46 years ago but more to the point i used to err "poach" in the old stew pond this river flows through to catch eel, roach rudd and more important proper old wild carp and of course lots of Perch, those were happy days indeed

Thank you. I will get Gardner pro line for next year.

Hyper Sensor for me... good gear... no reason to change...🤷‍♂️

Thank you for your reply.

There are so many choices in mainline, and you will likely get many answers. I used Daiwa Sensor in brown for years, it casts lovely, although it needed replacing fairly regularly, often twice a year or more. The brown is softer and more supple than the clear. On the Sensor clear, it doesn't knot as easily or tidily as the brown, but from a friends experience he said that it stands up to damage and 'overstretch' better than brown. I would probably have stayed with Sensor if it wasn't for Gardner Pro line. I was given a sample to test before it's release. It has pretty much been on my reels ever since in either light or dark. Every time I get new line, I replace it with the same.

and another good perch video

Got a link * found one *

You found somewhere that will allow the use of the wand/twig now that is magic lol

Wonder if there's a usb option
