GotJDM Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 As title states, im looking for some info on how to hand tie punch hubs. Quote
cadman Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 I do not use the skirt hubs. I use regular skirts and tie them directly to the weights collars with either wire or you can tie them with thread. Your choice. Quote
RyneB Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 I just put the skirt in the rubber collar. Then put the skirt on the punch hub with the rubber collar. Move the rubber collar out of the way and wire tie and then remove the rubber collar. Its actually really easy. If you want to thread tie, i dont know the best way for that. But i suggest using wire, that way you can hold the hub and tighten the wire with the other hand and then pliers. Quote

ChrisAW Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 Punch hubs are put in between your 1 ounce weight and hook for punching through matted vegetation. They give you the bulky skirted presentation while still being able to slip through the matts easily, as well as something that will click and clack. Quote

The hub is used to hold / mount a skirt on. Once a skirt is mounted on the hub, the hub is placed between a pegged bullet weight and the Texas Rigged plastic of your choice. The resulting rig is a very weedless and a super versatile bait. I'm a huge fan. A-Jay Quote

I've only punched through mats with TX rigged worms or weedless jigs with a verity of soft plastics. Thanks Quote
RyneB Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 iv even carolina rigged a punch skirt. Tie a normal c rig, with the skirt on the main line, then put on ur swivel and i usually only use a 5-8 inch leader. this is a good presentation with a float tube or beaver. It looks amazing in the water. Quote
