Did not see the retrieve question... Depends on the lure.. I don't use a real fast retrieve.. Perch can get aggressive and will hit anything moving slow or fast.. Other times, a plain old bounce the bottom slow retrieve works best.. They hit worms laying still on bottom, or floating fast under bobber thats racing across the surface on a windy day.. See what works best on that day.. Perch are not wary.. they are actually pretty dumb.. they can sometimes even get competitive when they are around in large numbers, and race one another to commit suicide on your hook...bob
