Over the past few years, more and more freshwater anglers have tried – and enjoyed – an ultralight approach to their lure fishing for Perch, many adopting LRF tackle and techniques.

Perch offer the LRF angler a fantastic target during the colder months of the year, when our coastline is at its quietest.
