Perch fishing

All the gear needed for perch fishing can be found here.

The perch is the perfect fish for both the beginner and the enthusiast. It is relatively easy to catch and very combative relative to its size. However, it can also be extremely elusive - especially the larger specimens - and poses a fascinating challenge even for the professional angler. Nearly every sport fisherman has started their fishing career with some form of perch fishing. Who does not remember the evening fishing from the dock or boat when younger? With a fishing rod held in a cramped grip, one would watch the bobber bouncing on the water surface fascinatingly. And when the bobber disappeared, the anticipation nearly gave you a heart-throb. Magical memories. In recent years, there has practically been a revolution in perch fishing - mainly within spin fishing.

With influences from American bass fishing, several new fishing methods have proven to be effective in the pursuit of perch here in Scandinavia. Texas and Carolina fishing as well as NED and Whacky are examples of exciting and highly effective methods that can be advantageously used in the pursuit of the striped predators.

We have the knowledge and the gear you need - from simple fishing rods and sensitive floats to special hooks for jig fishing and small enticing wobblers. Selected high-quality equipment that evidently catches a lot of fish.

Catch Perch

For many, perch is the first fish in their sport fishing career. Often, the first perch is caught on a worm while fishing from a dock with an older relative, while others discover perch fishing with a jig or spinner. Regardless, perch is one of the most common Swedish fish species and a highly appreciated catch among sport fishermen.

Equipment for Perch Fishing

The most common setup for perch fishing is a spinning rod around 7 feet long, with a casting weight of 5-15g, paired with a reel in size 2000. Combined with a braided line of about 0.12-0.15mm, this makes for an excellent perch fishing setup. If you are new to perch fishing, a good tip is to buy a ready-made combo.

In recent years, fishing with light spinning gear with low-profile reels has become increasingly popular among Scandinavian perch fishermen. Much inspiration comes from American bass fishing, where spinning rods and multiplier reels are standard. With a spinning setup, you can retrieve the lure more actively and also cast with greater precision, which is an advantage in tight spaces.

For the casual angler, a simple pole with a worm works excellently. If you want to increase the chances of catching a big perch, you could switch the worm for a bleak.

Lures for Perch

There are many different methods and baits to entice perch to bite. The method often varies based on the season, water temperature, and other factors that influence when, where, and how the perch feed. The most common lures found in a perch fisherman's tackle box are various types of jigs, spinners, and small hair lures such as wobblers or crankbaits. Jig fishing, in particular, has evolved significantly over recent years, and various finesse techniques such as dropshot, ned rig, Carolina rig, and Texas rig are now commonly used in Swedish waters.

Regardless of the technique preferred, it's a good idea to have several different types of lures in various colors and sizes in your tackle box. This way, you can cover many different situations. A good start is to buy a ready-made lure kit.

Three Tips for Better Perch Fishing:

  • Perch have no teeth and can sometimes be sensitive to steel leaders, so it's best to use a fluorocarbon leader around 0.40mm, a thin tungsten leader, or similar. If there are no pike in the lake, you can fish without a leader.
  • Crayfish are a favorite food for large perch, so if you fish in a lake with crayfish, it can be very effective to fish near the bottom with crayfish imitations.
  • Perch often swim in schools, so if you catch one, chances are high that there are more in the area. Seize the opportunity to keep your gear in the water when the perch are biting!
