perch rods

[Nautical Neighbor]

I have a question for all you guys... Why such heavy line?? 8-10# seems a bit much for perch. How big are the perch your catching?? I know everyone fishes different but I was just wondering? Good luck and be safe!

I have caught at least 3 - 28" walleye while perch fishing. 99% of the time your fine, but, would you want to lose a big walleye because of a line break?

I run a charter on the Canada side. I don't allow my customers to bring their own rods. I have 5'3" medium action rods with 10lb braid, a 1.5oz sinker and crappie rigs #1 size. I know this all seems heavy but the sensitivity is there as well as immediate hook set ability.

Right now I am working 40' of water.

to date we have landed 3010 keepers this season and last years total was 12130 perch
Good luck and keep the post coming. I enjoy reading this site.
