From hook to combo, here's what our best setup and rig for Surf Perch fishing in Central California, Bay Area, Monterey Bay and San Francisco consists of: Size 6 Grub Hook with a small artificial curlytail or grub-style bait, or size 4 or 2 hook with half a real worm (Sandworm, pileworm, bloodworm, lugworm etc - whatever's favoured locally) Red attractor bead on the leader 25 inches of 6, 8 or 10-pound mono leader line Palomar knots for all connections Stainless Steel Micro Swivel (30lb) Clear rigging bead to buffer sinker against swivel knot 1oz to 1.75oz egg sinker 40 to 50 inches of 20-pound mono top shot Crazy Alberto or FG mono to braid knot 15 to 20-pound braid main line 8'6" - 10" Medium-rated spinning rod 3500 to 4500-size spinning reel Setup 2: Best Reel, Pole / Rod Combo for Central California and Bay Area Surf Perch Fishing With the bigger waves, heavier current and chance of a striped bass on many surf perch venues along the Central Coast, Monterey, and Bay Area, upping the gear strength a notch is a wise move

That spool tension knob is exacting, so if you dont have it primed right youll notice a difference

You need the power to set the hook, get the fish moving out of the cover, and to flip them in the boat

These covers shield the helm, seats and other sensitive areas from harsh sun, rain and salt spray, preserving the boats aesthetics and functionality
