On the one web page with the slip bobber diagram, the perch rig shown seemed like a Crappie rig that I'm familiar with. Now recently I was shown and demonstrated, some what successfully, a different perch rig. Now here goes the fun part of trying to describe it.
Its a flexible thin/small diameter steel wire. The line/swival and sinker attach to the middle. You then attach a leader and hook to both ends. So which one is the "REAL" perch rig?
Also, I like to tie my own crappie rigs. Saves a bit if you brake off. Use it for various types of fishing. Start with 3+ ft of line. Tie a quick loop at one end for weights. Move up the line 9+in and tie in a hook. Move back down the doubled over line, to the "required" 3+ in and tie another knot. Move up the line about 9 to 12 in and tie in another hook with the 3 - 6 in spacing as you did with the previous hook. Go to the top and tie in a quick sturdy loop that you can easily attach to the main line. I've even done this with treble hooks, as long as your careful.
