One day I thought I'd try something different so I tied a small white tube jig on one side of a spreader with a shiner on the other hook just to see if the perch would hit the tube. the short answer.....No. I caught lots of perch on the shiner but the only time I got one on the tube was a double. I think the perch would hit the tube after one was hooked on the shiner. I have never tried it again.
