A perch that size will eat things surprisingly large - I'd stick with 2 to 4
inch baits though.

thanks for the tips,

i was thinking about using some live baits but my dad won't let me
fish with anything that isn't already dead, frozen and in a packet so i
cant.

I did buy some sprats though, (they only cost £1.40) and i'm going to
give them a try.

one more thing...
how small does a dead-bait have to be for a perch to swallow it because
there are some nice ones where i go, my dad caught a 1lb 10 ounce one
and i've seen much bigger ones.
