Perch Tips

[bcons]

I use 30lb powerpro for perch & eyes 
For those of you asking, noodles are the way to go!  My favorite rod is a Browning Six Rivers noodle.  The pflug reels I use come with an extra spool, so I have a few interchangable spools.  1 @ 2lb, 1 @ 6lb, 1 @ 12lb, with this combo I catch anything!  12lb on this setup is my spinning combo of choice for Salmon & trout in the SR.  I lost count how many 20-30lb fish in current I got last season.  6lb for deep water jigging for perch, eyes, & smallies,  2lb when targeting Perch & pans.  I love the thing.
My 6'6's & 7's have their place, but if I had to pick one it wouldn't be one of them.  Yup the noodle loads a bit different especially when using a line above what it's rated for, but it's not much of an adjustment.

Oh boy.......I'm gonna have to take you fishing !      Once you lay your sawdust covered hands on the rods I use, your "Noodles" will be commisioned to be used as tomato stakes (just not on windy days)

I'd bet if I drifted you on a hook in front of a salmon they wouldn't hit you either.   Want to try it in a few weeks ?

You have rods that actually work?  I thought the ones you had were merely intended to help hold the headliner up.

Just the opposite !   They're pulling the headliner down !

hey gamma thanks for the info.. If I'm out your way anytime soon ill drop you a line. and check out those rigs. Iwas out yesterday perch fishing, and saw some guys carp fishing with 13 foot specialized rods.. not noodle rods...maybe something similar to the ones you were using.

I gotta tell ya, I've been fishing 4# NanoFil for panfish for about 3 weeks now. I LOVE THIS STUFF! Using a light 7 foot spinning rod I'm casting tiny jigs way, way farther than I've ever been able with any other line. Even in a breeze this line is out performing anything else. I have not hooked a trout, bass, or pickerel with it yet but I'm feeling confident that it will perform when that happens. This was a great tip. I'm going to rig up 2 or 3 more rods with it.

Yeah, I spooled some up this morning and am impressed with it.  Long casting and sensitive.  Like Fireline when it's broken in.  Remains to be seen if it will saw weeds off or resist abrasions but it's looking good so far.  Gonna spool some up on the long rod next.

I just fished about 6 hours a day for 6 days with NanoFil. Love the stuff!
Used the 8#(only because the store didnt have 6), tied on a number 10 spro swivel, and fished a 2ft piece of 8# p-line florocarbon. Never had to retie the swivel to the Nano... and I may have caught a few fish.
Also had it on another reel tied direct to a pop-R all week. The stuff shines for topwater as it floats. After pausing the bait I never had to worry about it pulling the bait under when I started working it again. It also cut the weeds nice when a fish headed for them...
It is slick so just be carefull with your knots. Only had one incident with a loop down in the reel starting to form one of those spinning reel messes. Just pulled the line off by hand and she came right out...

Real similar to Fireline, just a bit smoother and thinner. The stuff shedds water also, which should be nice for on the ice...
