Got an email this morning and well , I knew this high hook would catch and it did. This is my buddy laughing Loon. Go figure it would take another loony guy to catch a nice fish like this.

It has to feel good knowing something you made is working as you hoped for. Congrats to your buddy on his catch and you for supplying his new go-to bait.

A buddy of mine reported using a dropper about a foot above his jig for jumbo perch, and doing well with it.  I have not tried it.  Yet.....

Good video.

Yesterday, fishing for perch, buddy beside me was fishing a dropper above his bottom lure (usually a Buckshot), and I was fishing with a Buckshot, or a Forage Minnow, and no dropper.  I would say that I outfished him for numbers, and we were about even for larger perch.  No jumbos hit the top hook, which was interesting.  We were inside a shelter and able to sight-fish for the most part.  The perch were mostly coming in as singles and doubles, rather than in schools.  I think if we had been seeing schools of fish, the dropper would have been more successful.
