Ray Pulford had an afternoon session targetting perch on a local stillwater using simple waggler tactics to great effect.

Ray’s setup consisted of a Loaded Crystal Waggler and 4.4lb Float Fish mainline tied directly to a size 14 Wide Gape Specialist hook. The hook bait choice for the session was a maggot and lobworm cocktail, which proved irresistible to the perch. By loose feeding maggots on a little and often basis, he kept plenty of small bait fish active in his swim, which, in turn, attracted the stripey predators.

The biggest trio of the session weighed 2lb 4oz, 2lb 8oz and 2lb 12oz, along with plenty of backup fish around the 1lb mark.
