Jiggin Rapala will work and I have caught them on small crappie size jigs also. Its hard to beat a live minnow near the bottom ! Minnows are one of the natural foods for perch along with other small bite size treats. I know what some will say, "we catch some while trolling spoons" , yep we do. If it looks good they may bite it, just take minnows so you dont waste a day and gas.
