So when I was pulling in perch like crazy I started playing around with things, and one that I discovered is that perch tend to shy away from those newer shiny sinkers. I have noticed that in the past, when I went with a duller used sinker (like the lead I still hypothetically have and use), more fish bites. On monday when I was out, I have a smaller egg sinker, and then I had added on split shot to get down faster. Well at one point I had to retie, and decided to switch to a single larger sinker. Maybe the sinker was too big for the perch, but I think it was the silvery color (new), that scared them away because I clearly was not catching fish while my fishing buddy still was. I cut off the big sinker, switched back to the rig I had and started nailing perch again.
Anybody else notice that? I am going to paint my bigger sinker, maybe brown to match bottom or purple as an attractant in the future and see what happens.

I have heard of guys soaking sinkers in vinegar i believe to dull them or paint them black so there is something to it i bet. Just wish i could remember where i saw it.
