[soccplayer07]

Hello all. Looking to gain insight on everyone's favorite punching setups/techniques. Does anyone know where I can find good articles/video clips about punching? Thanks.

1. Dobyns G2 805FLIP

2. Abu Garcia Revo STX

3. 65# Sufix Performance Braid

4. 1 1/2 oz. Tru-Tungsten flipping weight

5. Paycheck Baits Punch Skirt

6. Paycheck Baits Punch Hook 4/0

7. Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver

That would be the DREAM punching setup right there.

about two months ago i made a thread about this and it got some great responses. try a search.

Tim Horton has a DVD out, i think its called Stragegies for Heavy Cover.

Sam sent me a copy of this and there is some real good info about fishing mats in there.

I use the following:

FireLine Braid 65# test

Tru Tungsten flippin' weights

4" Berkley Chigger Craw

I have 2 of these setups, to cover two different colors, or sometimes two baits I like to punch.

Dobyns 805 Punch Rod

Revo STX

80lb Daiwa Braid

1 1/2oz Tru-Tungsten flippin weight

Youvella Pro Flip hook or Paycheck baits hook

Paycheck Punch skirt

any d**n plastic you want, I like craw pattern baits with a relatively thick body so the hook stays in there real good.

Do a search, you'll see a few other threads up on here about it.

If you don't like the paycheck skirts look at Gamblers skirts.

Catt, where do you get those heads at?

That is what we have for years called a Texas Rigged Jig; first started using them back in the mid-70s by simply inserting a bullet weight into a skirt. During the 80s a company out of Shreveport, Louisiana produced them under the name Big Red's Flying Jig. It is nothing more than a spinner bait head less the wire arm (pictured); the Junebug colored one is an original Big Red's Flying Jig.

Not only is this a deadly Punch Lure it is extremely deadly during winter when coupled with a 6 Gene Larew Hawg Craw. They are also available in lighter weights and can add rattles with the use of a rattle band as pictured to the left.

Winter in which region?  ie. Florida winter is obviously quite different than a more northern area winter.  A 6" jig trailer is awfully big for coldweather winter regions.

I think it says I'm in Texas but I could be wrong & a 6 trailer is tiny for a 6# bass

I use it to punch through the ice up here in Ohio winters.
