Perch respond best to small, natural-looking lures with subtle motion — and DeLong Lures delivers exactly that. Our baits are hand-poured, anise-scented, and made in the USA, giving you durability and realism that outperform imported alternatives.

The best DeLong lures for perch include:

• Twister Tad – Combines a compact body with a lively tail action that draws strikes in both open water and under the ice.

• Small Bug Lures – Perfect for vertical jigging or suspending under a float; imitates aquatic insects and larvae.

• Small Tadpoles – Realistic swimming action and perfect profile for perch feeding on minnows or small frogs.

DeLong perch baits excel in clear or cold water, during both open-water and ice-fishing seasons. Their lifelike motion, soft feel, and lasting scent make them irresistible to perch schools while offering unmatched value and performance for serious panfish anglers.
