perch rods

Seems like weight on the bottom is most popular. I will have to see what I can find so I can try something a little different. Last time I used a crappie rig I could only catch junk. Also seems like a lot of you prefer braid as well. Taking notes keep em coming I ought to put everything together and be a
Perchin master lol.

The secret for me has been braided line. period.
No stretch = sensitivity.
pretty much any long shank perch hook will do... no bling.
I tend to 'load' the rods with enough weight so the take the tip bend out of the equation.
Maybe 3/4 or 1 oz if it is wavy.
Then, as has been said, watch the rod tip.

Wife and I both use ugly sticks, braided line, and some split shot sinkers. We have always had better luck with single hook at bottom of line with split shot sinkers above. As mentioned before whatever feels best and works best for u. Wife uses just a couple split shots and I load up. Neither one of us can use each others rod with much success. She always sticks with her plan and I experiment with different spreaders from time to time but always seem to do best with what I mentioned above and end up going right back to it. Again what feels best and works for u.

I use a 6ft. Wally Marshal rod from bass pro with 6lb braid and 3ft of 6lb floro leader 3/4 oz weight. I also loosen my drag so it acts as a buffer to minimize the shock to the no streach lines and reduces breaking line.
