You need to take into account the size of the mouth of the fish you are targeting and how they feed. Some fish take their prey head on, other types attack from behind.
I'm not sure about Wacky rigging (texas style) worms, I would think that would be too much bait.
Alot of my experience with Perch is through ice fishing and I always caught them on jigs or bugs that were much smaller than I though I would need. Gill's should be easy to catch, they'll eat anything. When fishing for Crappie think of them as stunted less aggressive bass, same types of things work.
I'm sure some more experienced pan fish guys can chime in with some more detailed assistance.
