Let us dwell on the question of how to catch perch on a spinning rod in the warm season. When narrowing from the shore, you need to choose places where the lateral wind will increase the casting distance of the spinning rod.

Also for catching perch on a spinning rod, universal baits (durable spinners), which have successfully proven their effectiveness , are suitable.

How to catch perch on a spinning rod and in what weather? This fish is very sensitive to environmental changes. It pecks well with stable atmospheric pressure and with sharp drops or rises. Worst of all, a perch pecks at slow changes in atmospheric pressure. Excellent results are obtained when fishing in cloudy weather and drizzling rain. In this case, the bait is the best bait. During a strong wind or rain, the perch takes the bait badly, as it expects the weather in a secluded place. With increasing water levels in the pond or prolonged rainfall, this fish is the best bite off the coastline.
Before catching a perch on a spinning rod, it is necessary to study some features of its fishing. So, after casting the bait, you need to wait for it to sink to the bottom, and then quickly twist the reel by 2-3 turns. Then you need to wait again until the bait sinks to the bottom and tighten the reel again. Such actions are repeated several times. During biting, hooking is rarely required, as perch reacts so actively to bait. Among the most popular methods of posting bait, it should be noted uniform and stepwise posting, twitching. A stable bite of this type of fish appears during the flowering of wild rose. Autumn spinning fishing for perch begins in late August.
