We've had great success with the Flexit Spoon, but frankly any flashy spoon you drop in front of a feeding fish will be hit. Blue, green, chartreuse and white have all worked well.

Here is one I slayed em on yesterday. It is one I cast with a Do-It Mold. The one I used was spray painted white.

They seem to like the slender profile.

I love all the spoons, 2" or less. Great for trolling for Crappie, 1" or less for bream- just use a couple of ball bearing swivels.
The one pictured by tackleboat is working really well for me too. It's about to take the place of the war eagle spoons that I have been using.
Wal-Mart sells a two pack that looks like a Hopkins for about $2.50 Works well everywhere and are inexpensive. Great lure for the working poor. 1/2 or 5/8 oz are great for the perch, crappie and bass. They is all kinds of knockoffs of the Hopkins spoon out there and they all work.

these are great but cost. Salt water surf spoons.
When it comes to fishing cost means nothing! I always look in the tree limbs on the banks for my best lures. :Rofl
I always thought the lures hanging on tree branches were from people fishing for squirrels????

The smallest Hopkins you can find with #4 Vicious Line. Lake Yonah, North GeorgiaAttachment 327443
That's a big Eisenhower there SDEHART.
Wow! Thought you had to go North to catch Yellow Perch that size. They are first cousin to the Walleye and you can see the resemblance in that whopper.
Looks like a famous Georgia Puffer Perch!

I like to make my own spoons, Here I am carving me out a top water wooden spoon. Excellent when the perch are boiling the surface in a feeding frenzy! lol

tackleboat's spoon is suppose to be the best one for white bass according to the local guide.

You would think that maribou tail would make them strike quicker. Does anybody still cut a piece of belly meat off a fresh caught perch to use for bait? How well does that work?
We are trying that next time

Marabou would be good but i think perch are attracted to the flash

I think we've all used cut perch belly for bait Butch. Seems like Charle Biggers posted he used them on a recent trip. Excellent catfish bait too, even though I've yet to get one on perch. When we get a small one I'll cut it and drag along while we perch jerking Used live one too but still no takers.Quote:

Small strips of perch can work really well, sometimes. We have caught some of our largest perch on cut perch. It says on the hook really well compared to minnows. I usually start out with spoons & move to minnows or cut perch if the spoons do not work. Lately, the minnows are been catching the most of our perch.
