There’s a thread from 15th March this year on the Sea, Game, etc forum that gives some sound answers on this.

…and I use 6 lb Sensor when fishing lobs and 15 lb Powerpro braid with deadbaits. One good and rarely made comment on that thread I mentioned above is to check hooklink for nicks. Ditto mainline especially if fishing over rocky bottom.

When legering worm for perch I use a short hooklink and touch ledger. They're aggressive feeders so bites are normally easy to detect and need striking very quickly to avoid deep hooking. Best avoid putting the rod on a rest etc, for this reason.

Regardless, float fishing lobs under a perch bobber is the best method if the water's not too deep or fast. Sliding floats also work well for deeper swims.

I use 18lb for my Perching, might seem a bit heavy but it definitely isn't, especially when you fish waters that are full of Big Carp and whatnot.
