I don't know if you guys have the same experience but I would say approximately 90% of the big perch I have caught have been in the margin, some in no more than a foot of water.
By far the majority of my fish come just off the rod end.
I feel confident if there's a decent depth of water though and will bear in mind your success in much shallower.
I use the 15' float rod for poking baits under trees and bushes to either side of an otherwise clear swim and really enjoy it, I also use it a lot with livebait paternoster rigs...
