as hard as i tried i can not find pictures of these spoons. could someone take a few pictures of your favorite spoons and the color patterns which you use most for perch and post them so i will be able to either make a copy or buy some locally.prince of perch has a nice lineup ,but those are not the ones i am looking for. come on guys this one should be easy and help out a ton of us less in the know.jigging advice would help too. and if you're in the mood would a guided trip be out of the question. ha ha :lol: thanks in advance. dan

Dan it is easy. as far as spoons The first one sold at all the bait stores starts out yellow at the top and fades into bright orange towards the hook on the hook is a large red plastic bead. The bead can be heated by heating the hook over fire and sliding the plastic bead covering the barb for a quick bite, when you need to just flick the perch off the hook. or past the barb when you want a good hook set. you will also want gold and silver depending on sun or clouds.
Now get some swedish pimples. small to med size. You only need 2 colors. emerald green and silver // pearl or glow and silver. both work good low light or sun. The first thing you do is switch the treb hook with the single hook included. make sure the hook point is pointing towards the flat side of the pimple. They are used with a red rubber bead or minnow head or whole minnow. Size from the smallest one to 2 sizes up from that all will get the smallest perch to the biggest walleye in LSC. now gills ect are a diffrent story.
Hope this helps . as far as colors go, head to the bait store mid winter and look at all the jigs . You will find stacks of jigs/colors when you see a stack with only one or two left. you might want to nab it or use the color pattern .
