    Re: 8/17 perch

    Well…it was what I expected. Very slow bite. Only 6 keepers all day. The only good thing was they were all 10-12”. Everything else was under 8. Finally got tired of that, and set up a troll with...

    I do run mono, or fluorocarbon leaders on everything except harnesses which I tie with about 6’ leader. Don’t be afraid of leader size as nothing you want is line shy. I have leaders up to 50#....
