When choosing a jig head, adjust the weight to the depth, current and speed of the conductor, not just the distance. The head should hold the bait steady and leave the tail free. The too-heavy variant speeds up the fall and shortens the working phase, while the too-light one makes it difficult to contact the bottom and read the knocks.
For perch, you usually look for accurate control around shelters and changes in relief, so baits for perch are selected according to the location, not by blind color. In clear water start with a more unobtrusive variant; in low visibility, you can try a more pronounced contrast. A shift makes sense if you keep the same depth and pace for several consecutive conductions.
The compatibility between the silicone and the hook is evident by whether the body is standing straight, without twisting and without a pressed tail. The tip should come out in the appropriate place relative to the length of the lure. If the silicone is bent, it loses a predictable trajectory; rearrange it instead of compensating for faster keeping. The ear of the head should remain accessible for clean tying.
After fishing, inspect the body around the hook, tail and jig head itself. The torn place can displace the bait when cast, and the blunted or deformed tip reduces the reliability of the rig. Arrange the different shapes and sizes so that you change them quickly by the water without losing the chosen depth and rhythm of the conductor. Separate the damaged pieces before the next outing.
