Overview
Built for big-water perch fishing, this rig is aimed at anglers who need a stronger setup when non-target fish like sheepshead or catfish may be part of the mix. Its fly is designed to hang away from the line and float in the water, creating a presentation suited to panfish. While it is made with perch in mind, it can also be used for crappie, bluegill, and other panfish. For added appeal, it can be tipped with a whole minnow, a chunk of minnow, or other live bait.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for big-water perch fishing, so it may be more rig than needed for lighter panfish situations.
- The presentation is intended to be tipped with a whole minnow, chunk of minnow, or other live bait, so it is not a fully bait-free option.
- Its stronger build is aimed at handling occasional non-target fish like sheepshead and catfish, which can be a trade-off if you want the lightest possible setup for panfish.
