Perch are without doubt one of the most widespread predator fish in Europe. They can be found in lakes, rivers, ponds and canals alike.

Among the Delalande 2023 range, three new products clearly stand out for targeting big perch. Let’s discover the best lure options for perch fishing on your next fishing trips.

1) Touptishad 5cm: The Ready-to-Fish Option
