BIG PERCH FISHING RIGS - JIGGING AND JIG HEADS

- Perch fishing rigs and tips on Jigging and Jig Heads when lure fishing around our UK rivers. Tactics to help you catch more big perch. Included are lures such as the Crazyfish Nimble, Berkeley Havoc Rocket Craws and Korum Shads. Fishing with a shad or creature bait allows us to cover lots of water to find the fish. Creature baits are probably one of my favourite ways to fish.
We discuss Jig head weight and hook size. Weights are an important part of catching perch when Jigging. Perch fishing on the River Lea and River Stort.

well done mate very informative video, also makes me feel better as i fish the same river from time to time, stick the miles in , cast until my shoulder is knackered and still dont get the rewards, the thing that keeps me going back is i know they are in there. See you on the next one
Fanter Fishing thanks mate. Wanted to show folks the effort we sometimes have to go through on these rivers. Always tricky Jan/Feb. But they are very catchable, once you’ve eventually found the buggers!!! 😂👍🎣
So good to see some actual fishing and not just catching. This video really depicts how you need to work at it.
A hell of a lot of effort put in there! Excellent effort!!!
I'm quite new to perch fishing not a novice by any means but I've now got a finesse rod and a medium light rod and these videos really help. Keep up the good work
That’s really good to hear! I really appreciate you letting me know. Thanks for watching the videos 👍👍👍
I agree Sea , Game or Course You should always fish with balanced tackle for the size of your quarry
Great video mate, really nice to see a honest fishing video, I'm on the Norfolk broads and the perch have really come on, been lure fishing 20+ years now and still picking up some great new ideas to tweak my set ups from you. Keep up the good work bud. Tight lines.👍🏼
Thanks Craig. Really appreciate your kind words!!! 👍👍👍
I always find that if I’ve had a knock and missed it that a change off colour to lure it sometimes makes em have another go and perch seem to get very bored quickly and a colour change helps a lot , not that I’m a really angler but it’s helped me a bit over the years , great videos though and your show just how many blanks you have like most off us 👍
Sounds like great advice to me!!! 👍👍
Have you ever tried pitching as a casting technique? You find loads of bass pitching tutorials on you tube. I practiced in my garden shooting jig heads into a bucket. Transformed my short to med range lure fishing. Faster and more accurate once you get the technique down. Im really enjoying your vids, keep up the good work!!!!!!!
That's really interesting mate, thanks for sharing. Just watched a video on this. Do you use a baitcaster? I assume you do?
Yes a baitcaster is better for this but you can use a spinning out fit too.
Amazing video, I love them, after I watched one of your videos, I started fishing more with Jig heads and I got more results. Thank you.
Excellent stuff! Glad you’re getting a few!!! 👍
Great video! Been learning alot from your perch videos that I can use here in the states. Keep up the great work
Jay Schultz that’s awesome! Let me know how you get on!
It’s a cucumber 🥒 absolutely crying 😂😂😂 another very useful video,well Done mate I need to up my game 😂 keep up the good work fella 👌🏻🎣
DPfishing cheers pal 😉 Another vid drops tomorrow! 🎣
Plenty of useful info in this video 👍
Cheers Phil. Thanks for checking out the channel.
like your style mate
Cheers pal 🙏🙏🙏👍
Love it... getting a fast head korum net too 👍 hopefully it's good for the money
Great info and great vid thanks for spending the time to make them.👍
sme sme nice one mate. Thanks 🙏
I actually appreciated seeing a blank. I fish Bassenthwaite lake, it’s often difficult to locate the fish. I suspect they often fall back out of casting range.
Blanks go with my territory.
Yeah, I have a few big venues that sound like that. The blanks are like water off a ducks back to me now!! 😂👍
One thing I have found in my fishing is that when using the s pro jig heads I seem to do a lot better when using the one with the red eye rather than the yellow, may well be down to luck but from my experience it's a winner 👍
Well done on your perseverance. I'm only fishing canals at the moment, but intend to have a go on the Severn near Shrewsbury. Totally agree about hang time. The majority of my hooks have 2g heads, sometimes I'll go to 5g. One problem I have is finding 2g heads with longer hooks. They always seem to be short shanked, though to be fair, alot of the perch I catch have swallowed the bait or bent it over enough to hook. Love your vids. Thanks 👍
Stephen Holland cheer mate. Yes people generally go too heavy. 3G - 5G for me generally. 👍👍👍
Glad that you got there in the end. Really surprised how rapidly you wound the jig in, I'd have done it a lot slower, this time of year. I think that you'll be more successful with a slower retrieve.
Yeah, this was some time ago now and was end of Autumn so quite mild. I gotta agree though, at this time of year I go slow 👍👍👍
Even 18 pound fluo leader won't be a guarantee for pike tho. This season it happened a bit too often for my liking, 3 times had a pike cut through the dropshot leader almost instantly...9kg fluo is a gamble. Usually use 20kg fluo as a leader for crankbaits and such.
See my more recent videos. I’m using the 10lb Drennan wire. Nice and fine 👍👌
Nice job on the video. I think I'm the only guy that fish for perch here in the US 🇺🇸 like you guys over in Europe. People always look at me like I'm crazy 😜 but when I catch on its usually a jumbo as we'd say my way. Try popping a lipless crankbait off bottom and make a video about it. I've had alot of success these last few years with this technique for bigger perch and I'd love to see if the perch your way react the same. 👏🏽🎣🐟. Job well done
What crank do you recommend. Do you fish these even in very cold conditions? Thanks for watching the video! 👍
Bill Lewis rattle trap thanks for them response and yes I believe its better on the colder months. The perch almost always crush the bait on the fall.. Pop pop fall is the ticket
Great video, nice to see the trips and time spent to get the catch you want, doesn't just happen every time
James Harrington thank you mate. It would be easy to make it look easy 🎥 The struggle is real 😉 but the reward is sweet 😁🎣
@@Lifeonthebank I know mate, and I know how hard the Lea can be, the last 4 or 5 trips have been a real struggle, just gotta keep at it
Yes mate. You’ll get one soon for sure. It’s not the easiest river that’s for sure. The flood water has only made it tougher I reckon. Keep going pal 👍
@@Lifeonthebank cheers pal, might see you about at some point, tight lines
@@Lifeonthebank What sort of size nimble are you using there, looks like about 4" with a fairly big weight jighead
Grate vid mate! As for fishing coloured jig heads, in my experience I've found red to be very good. I believe the red acts a strike point for the fish. Don't get me wrong I've had fish on yellow black white etc. But red seems to land more for me.
Grant Elkin Hi Grant I only use Westin shads as I love the patterns very natural looking and they do put that flash of red I feel adds a strike point as well.
Yeah, I'd heard that red is the way to go! I'll give them a try. THANKS!
Great vid keep up the good work 👍👏🎣
More on there way!!! THANKS!
Abonnement it right away, the way fitts the way I fish on Perch Bfs too 👍
superlight material rules. Sometimes combi flies on the dropshot too to attract most time fish between 2 and 4 grams with the baitcaster 145 grams rod 85 grams great feeling what you doing so you better can ajust
your weight you need. Much to tell so I keep it simpel, you show great info
and really nice video 👍👊👍
Thank you mate. You’re fishing nice and light and simple. Best way 👍🙏
Beautiful fish! Cheers!
Cracking Vid mate 💯👊
john townend cheers mate. If you like perch then check out the other perch vids on the channel. The Ned Rig one is popular and includes a very big perch at the end! 👍👍👍🎣
Honest fishing plenty of blanks or pike only and that’s the reality brilliant video
David Smith thanks 🙏 Good to know I’m not alone but then I do see other fishing friends going through this. Seems to be our reality, especially as we go into the colder months. Makes the rewards even sweeter 😉👍
Life on the bank definitely mate but I think lot of guys new to sport can easily be put off 6 hrs on the bank yesterday hooked a decent pike early into the session but as always I’m hunting perch change locations tomorrow try and small stream that’s good in the summer tight lights keep up the vids mate
Yeah, I also feel that it’s easy to think we’re bagging up when they just see the trophy shots. We’re often having to work for it. Hopefully it will encourage guys to stick at it! 👍
Nice Perch at the end, you are right about the weight of a jig head, ive always used the lightest l can get away with as l have had a lot of Perch and Pike take the lure as it has dropped back to the bottom, the slower it falls the better, l have tried heavier jig heads but takes on a falling lure are very rare as the lure shoots to the bottom too quickly to get a reaction, as for colours of jig heads l couldn't say as most of mine are unpainted and l get plenty of action, l am more interested in the movement of the rubber body than the colour of the head, keep up the good work.
clooper man yep. I go really light if possible. I hunt out the slacks and then I can go really light. I’ve still not tried coloured jigs but will at some time. Cheers 👍
Could yo do a video on rods, reels, lines etc for lure fishing jig heads neds etc
Jack Sparrow I definitely will mate. Although the rivers are now closed and so I’m not sure when I’ll be perch fishing again. Be sure to check out my other perch vids! Thanks for watching!!!! 👍
Which rig on a drop shot rod . Would best work on a canal to search for perch . I know there are a few jack pike on my canal cuz I have targeted them and got them on my 35 g to 100g lure rod . My drop shot rod is 4 to 17g
Effort =Reward : )
You know that you gotta experience the journey. A bit of graft makes it taste sweeter in the end!
Beautifully shot and edited. Have you some professional experience? Great vid.
The Constant Angler thank you 🙏 Yes, I used to produce a lot of video before moving into web design. Nice to pick up the editing tools again!!! 😉👍🎣
Is that the okuma ceymer reel I've had one a month now and love it
Jack Harris yes. Cheap and cheerful. Upgraded now but did the job! 👍
Could you talk about the speed of your retrieves please? To me, you're burining the jig! Was there a reason to go that fast?
obviously your method works, so I want to know if I need to speed up!
Some parts of that section still had low lying weed. Even with a light jighead it can fall and get clogged in it. Generally the colder it gets the slower I go. That’s only a general rule, I still like to mix it up. Finally, I think everyone has ‘their style’ and it’s true that mine is quite fast. I literally have to concentrate to slow myself down! Thanks for checking out the video 👍
@@Lifeonthebank Thank you for elaborating. Subscribed. :)
Hi, hopefully someone can give me a bit of advice on jig fishing.
I'm using a 7ft Maver jig rod, with a Mitchell reel which matches the rod.
I started with a 7lb braid, but I just struggled with the knots. For whatever reason the braid just kept slipping. So I swapped the braid to a heavier and stiffer braid. I quickly realised, that was way to thick. So I went back to my old faithful 8lb Maxima Cameleon.
One thing that has happened with both braids and my line is I keep getting these random tangles during the cast.
All I can think is the line or braid is twisting during the cast, because the jigs is twisting and rolling on the cast.
Has anyone else come across this issue before?
Hmm … maybe a bit too fine. I use the snapper illumin8 in 11lb and have no problems 👍
@@Lifeonthebank Thank you, I think I may have figured out the problem. Basically I added a snap link, so I could change the jigs quickly.
I think I should have added a swivel to the snap link too, that should stop the line or braid spinning.
Appreciate your reply, thank you.
What line do you use
I use braid by Korum Snapper. Look at the new Illumin8 stuff. Also a leader made up of Korum Dropshot fluorocarbon in 6 or 10lb.
Hi
Just wanted to say I’m enjoying your tutorials. Very “real” putting the fact that you have those “no fish” days, those videos where you get a fish every chuck can be misleading. I know this seems silly to say, but “does putting more action into the lure induce more takes”? (Some days I just find myself pulling the lures through the water, with minimal results)
In other words it can be quite a mental attitude to bring together the physical side of fishing and the mental alertness in training yourself to impart the action. I hope that makes sense! Once again, learning a lot from your videos which are appreciated. Tight lines.
Thanks for checking out the channel! I think it’s very easy in lure fishing to slip into a state of mind where you become quite robotic! I feel like I manage to avoid this by keeping my sessions short. How I fish during this time is effect by time of year, conditions and by what’s happening in front of me. I hope that helps! 👍👍👍
@@Lifeonthebank Thanks Nick. That’s good advice to fish for short sessions especially when you’ve got to “pay attention “ to what’s happening in right front you. Tight lines
Dave
I notice you fish the Lea a lot are you a Hertfordshire lad ? I was born in Cheshunt near river Lea , Its where I first fished yonks ago ... Still remember my first fish ! A perch on a bamboo cane rod my dad made for me lol
Tackle has come on a bit since then! Thanks for watching!!!
