    I'm going to fish a small lake in Tennessee with grass mats. No, I don't know what kind of grass it is; I just know the lake has grass mats. The mats go out about 10-20 feet wide from shore and I don't know how thick they are. I've never fished a grass mat in my life, but have watched about 10 How-To videos. I was going to take a variety of punch weights, up to 1.5 ounces. I have a variety of top water frogs and soft plastic punch baits. I was going to use 65lb braid and my strongest rods. I have bobber stoppers, so I was going to go with a palomar knot, unless you guys give me reasons to go with a snell knot. I saw a prior post on this site talking about fishing the edges of the mats by deep water first, then punching through the mat. I'll mix in some top water too to see if they are suspending high in the water column. Am I on the right track? Do you have any advanced tips that have helped you fish a grass mat? I'll take any info you're willing to share with me. Thanks!

    Hello, Just curious if any would share their experiences using a punch rig setup with a bait that has a hook slot, like som of the Rage baits, etc. I haven't ordered any baits to try it, but am curious if the slot helps to use a straight shank hook, and get better hookup rate, or if it takes too much bulk out of a bait? I could se punching with a 1.5 oz being enough going through the mat to expose the point and cause hang ups? I was hoping others could share their experiences if they have tried it? Thanks, Clemmy
