You might ask yourself why a fishing rig is needed to catch perch. The truth is, it’s not. Small perch (less then 1lb) are abundant in most freshwater lakes and pretty easy to catch with a fishing line and the right bait. However, larger perch in the 1 to 2 pound range are much harder to hook. Catching larger perch requires skill and the right presentation of bait or lure. This is where a perch rig comes in.
If you’re goal is to catch your limit of perch, or reel in a giant trophy perch, then using a perch rig is essential. Using a perch rig will greatly improve your chances of reaching your limit and landing a real prize catch.
