so has anyone found a effective way of avoiding deep hooking perch? I've tried short hook link, small baits big baits, long hair rigs, big hooks, small hooks, hitting bites at the smallest twitch and still haven't found a method that doesn't stop them. I notice that the magazines etc tend to have a lot of articles showing people fishing resistance (as much as it can be) free running rigs on alarms and this to me screams deep hooking... Your thoughts please
