muftyboy Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Evening all. Who on here lure fishes for perch?. Want to give it a go this winter. What sort of lures have people had luck on and do you use a wire trace in case of pike?. Cheers homies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillfactor Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Normally just small 2 -3 inch little rattlers muft on a coated length of trace . I normally cut at least one hook off sometimes two if there trebbles on the lure , causes a lot less damage. muftyboy and finchey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh92 Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 I've done well using ondex spinners, like chillfactor says, I don't like using full trebles either, I always find they get themselves hooked deep, so I'll cut 2 of the trebles off or switch it to a size 2 or 4 hook. I'll use a wire trace just incase I hook into a pike but a lot of people don't bother and reckon perch are less likely to go for a lure attached to a wire trace. I'm not sure how true that is but I thought I'd share lol. muftyboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muftyboy Posted November 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Cheers guys. I think ill start off with a trace just in case. Don't wanna leave a pike with a lure stuck in its gob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluelabel Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 I use soft plastics with jig heads or drop shotting... and I always use traces if I know Pike are likely to be present....
