What are the best spiners for perch?
What line should I use and what size trace?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions - Dave B

The wee ondex spinners work just fine for me.

But they'll take mepps #5 and larger.

Standard line around 4 -6 lbs seems fine - if your spinning then you quite
often get get snagged so you want something you can give a tug on !
Trace size - off the shelf mate, I use an 8" or 14".
I use an 8ft leeda rim spin rod which is great sport when fishing for perch
of any size.

Trace and line requirements really depend on the local pike. Big perch
often go with big pike which is a pity as it means that they rarely get a
chance to give a proper account of themselves.

They will take a large wet fly btw.

Cheerio,
