Among all the
perch lures,
perch surface fishing is practiced using various lures specifically designed to target this agile and curious fish. Perches, being opportunistic predators, are attracted to lures that mimic distressed prey on the water's surface. This type of fishing is very playful because it often takes place above gatherings of hunting fish and you can chain catches and captures.
Perches are attracted to sharp and unpredictable movements. Animating the surface lure with quick movements, followed by pauses, can encourage perches to attack.
For perch surface fishing, small surface lures such as small poppers or
stickbaits from Illex are very effective. They imitate a small fish or an insect on the surface, triggering reflex attacks from the perch.
Sakura poppers are also very well known for perch.
You can also look bigger, whether it's a
black bass surface lure, or a
pike surface lure.
