Heavy Duty Punch Jigs ~ 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4, 1 oz ~ Punch through Thick Cover
Because sometimes you just need a jig!
|
Cast Industries manufactures, centrifugal spincast molds and paints these jig heads. Cast Industries is the largest U.S. manufacturer of jig heads for over 20 years with over 300 customers, including many of the most popular regional, national and worldwide brands of jigs. Even though the brand name on the packaging may be different, it is Cast Industries that actually produces many of the best made jigs on the market These have the ideal bullet nose shape, weight distribution and sleekness to punch through thick mats of vegetation and whatever other heavy cover. Premium Mustad Ultra Point Hook. This extra heavy duty hook has a needle sharp point with incredible strength and durability. The Ultra Point is designed not to bend or roll over. The Ultra Point lasts longer under tough flipping, pitching and punching conditions. This is a heavy gauge wire diameter hook for landing big bass with heavy line. Fiberguard. Extra long and extra thick for extra heavy cover using a heavy rod, reel amd line. In many situations, you may want to thin out and trim short the fiberguard to match your fishing conditions. Think of it as purchasing a fine pair of unhemmed dress slacks. You wouldn't wear unhemmed pants without tailoring them first. So you shouldn't fish these jigs without tailoring the fiberguards to suit the conditions you encounter. The fiberguards come extra long and extra thick. You can shorten or reduce the number of fibers based on the fishing conditions you encounter and the strength of rod, reel, line you are using. Double Keeper Collar. First, punch jigs have a pronounced ring that makes it quite difficult for a fish to ever pull the skirt down. Second, the spiked keeper barb helps hold soft plastic trailers without easily slipping down the hook. |
Punch Jig Fishing Simplified
Punch fishing with heavy Texas rigs is one of the latest fads in bass fishing today. But punching through thick, heavy cover is something I've been doing for thirty-something years - and sometimes you just need a jig to do it.
The punch jig has a pointy, bullet-nosed shape that’s streamlined and best for snaking through thick grass and other debris cleanly. One of the most important aspects to realize is that punch jig fishing is a heavy tackle proposition. Most anglers underestimate the strength of rod, reel and line that’s required for punch jig fishing. If you find you are hanging up and snagging too much, it may be because your rod, reel and line are too light and too flexible to keep the jig out of trouble. Switch to heavier tackle. Next, you want to cast into the best possible spot within your reach where, if you had to pick the one single place where a fish could be, that’s the place to lay your jig down. Then you just let the jig drop to the bottom. Then you do absolutely nothing. Most hits will happen in just about how much time it took to read this. If you don’t get bit during the fall or after waiting and doing nothing for a short while, then you start to drag the jig back to you slowly, up out of the grass or cover, but your best chance to have had a hit is already over by the time you start to drag it back. If you punched into a thick mat of grass, all you can do most times is pull the jig out and make another flip. On the other hand, if there's any room to swim the jig past the grass edge on its way back to the baot, let it sink or swim to bottom once the jig clears the grass edge. As it moves over clean, empty bottom, chances for a hit are low. As it starts to bang and bumble against vegetation or debris, chances for a hit go up. Anytime you lose feel of the bottom, slow down and wait until you feel the jig make bottom contact again. Keep in mind, the most important part of a jig is the soft plastic trailer. The soft plastic trailer is really all the fish wants. If you don’t believe it, try fishing a jig with no trailer, and you won’t do very well. Punch jig fishing really is that simple.
One last tip is that all you'll ever read about punching is with one ounce or even heavier sizes - but that only applies to the thickest of grass mats. Punching is every bit as effective (and sometimes even more productive) using weights as light as 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 oz for thin to medium thickness mats. Anyone can punch with the heavy weights, yet not every situation you face requires the heaviest jig possible. There are many more punching opportunities that can be best served with the lighter weight jigs. You really haven't mastered punching until you can finagle even the light weight jigs through thick vegetation and gnarly tangles of debris.

Power Fishing Punch Jigs ~ for Finesse Swimming Presentations
Finally, a power jig with finesse! Ideal for flipping and/or swimming presentations!
These jigs are built for power fishing with heavy tackle. The fiberguards are heavy duty and the heads are streamlined to get through the thickest cover. The hooks are intentionally not oversized but the wire diameter is heavy duty. These hooks are made for flipping and for catching the biggest bass out there.
By combining these heavy duty Punch Jigs with Thin Strand skirts, it creates a finesse jig that can be used with heavy tackle for big bass. When big bass refuse to eat a big bulky jig - try one of these.

Bassdozer Buzzbaits. Free KVD Trailer Hook. FREE Twin Tail Trailers.
The Pro Buzzbait is one of the easiest of all buzzbaits to get up on plane. Also one of the slowest surface-crawling buzzbaits. The secret is its two-dimensional planing surfaces - both flat horizontal and upright vertical hydrodynamic planing surfaces, and its nose is angled upward for even more lift.
Better Hooksets: The oxbow bend in the wire drops the hook lower away from the blade. The wire bend increases the distance of the hook from the blade and puts the hook lower than the blade which simply makes it easier for fish to get hooked.
Reduced Tangling: The wire bend also drops the skirt lower and increases the distance of the skirt from the blade which helps prevent the skirt from tangling the blade.

| Pro | 1/4 oz | .040" | 4/0 Mustad | 2/0 KVD |
| Pro | 3/8 oz | .051" | 5/0 Mustad | 3/0 KVD |

Premium Hook: Mustad Ultra Point Black Nickel Long Shank

CUTOUT Buzzbait.
Your Search for the SLOWEST Buzzbait ends here!
No matter what brand you care to choose, there's always some marketing guy trying to convince you that Brand A (Brand B, Brand C, every other brand) is the slowest buzzbait, with more lift, that rises to the surface quicker...I'm sure you've heard the marketing rhetoric many times.
You've tried the rest, now here is the absolutely SLOWEST buzzbait. You do the math. It's simple. The Cutout buzzbait has six (6) paddles lifting it and keeping it on the surface even at the slowest speed. No other buzzbait has that many paddles making as much lift to keep it up on top. Period.
Huge Wake Easy to Track at Night. Not only is the Cutout the slowest buzzbait - it also leaves a long trail of bubbles directly behind it as it throws a huge V wake off to both sides as it swims along the surface so slowly This makes it one of the very best buzzbaits for night fishing since the bubble trail behind it plus the huge V wake spreading out to the sides make the Cutout buzzbait very easy for bass to track it on the surface at night.
Cutout Blade: The large aluminum or painted blade has the center cut out. This allow a small, counter-rotating Quad blade made of durable Lexan plastic to be inserted inside the Cutout blade.

QUAD Buzzbait.
Quad Blades: Quad blades are ideal for a slow. gurgling retrieve especially under calm water conditions. The durable Lexan plastic material is virtually unbreakable. These are super free spinning blades. They produce a more subtle, bubbling action, a smoother wake and more of a whirring noise compared to metal blades. Each blade comes with a pop rivet installed in the back of the blade which turns against a second rivet on the wire arm, and these metal components produce a high-pitched squeal or squeak.

RAPPER Buzzbait.
The Rapper buzzbait has a broad, keeled planing head shaped like a boat hull. Best of all, the blade raps against the top of the head creating a loud clacking sound that infuriates bass. The wire arm can be fine-tuned to adjust the noise level ranging from not hitting the head at all (like a standard buzzbait) to lightly hitting the head or hitting it hard.
Bassdozer says: "Never underestimate the fish-calling attraction of the clacking sound. Think of it like chumming with noise to call fish over to your bait from a longer distance - from as far away as they can hear the loud clack. I think many anglers shy away from using the loud clacking buzzbaits because we are constantly told to be subtle, stealthy, natural in our approaches with lures. Nothing could be further from the truth when it comes to these Rapper buzzbaits. Most of the time under a variety of water, wind and light conditions, I tend to attract and catch more fish under all conditions with the Rapper buzzbait tuned to emit a loud clack."
1/2 oz RAPPER Buzzbait Head
One other neat thing about the clacking is the loudness almost self-adjusts depending on whether the surface conditions are smooth or choppy. When the surface is slick, the clack will be more subdued but when the surface is rippled or rough, the clack seems louder. I liken this to an off-road vehicle when driving down a smooth, paved highway, the vehicle is quiet, but get off-road on rough terrain and all the bouncing causes the vehicle to rattle and clang, making more noise. I think a rough surface does the same thing with this buzzbait by bouncing it around more and causing it to produce a louder clack in rippled or choppy water.

FINESSE Buzzbaits.
There's nothing else on the market quite like these deadly little buzzbaits.
Finesse buzzbaits are made using SkirtsPlus Hole-In-One half-skirts where the strands are sandwiched and glued in between an inner hub and outer band. This means the strands can never move or wiggle out from under or fall out of the skirt. Each strand is locked and glued in place fairly permanently. Note that it would be impossible to use a full-size skirt on these because the full skirt strands would get wrapped up and tangle in the revolving blade. The half-skirt however is the perfect size. It's just not possible for the short strands to wrap in the blade.
Best of all, the short hairs bend all the way back and fold over on the retrieve. With the short strands bent all the way back when the lure is moving forward, it causes an effect where the short strands resemble the head and gill flaps of a baitfish, and the short hairs pulse forward-and-backward like fish gills gasping for breath whenever the bait falters.
Bassdozer says: "These finesse buzzbaits are compact with short wire arms and half-skirts, making them almost jig-sized - but the real beauty is that the blade and the hook aren't tiny - it's a relatively large blade that produces a lot of bubbling commotion and clacking, and the overall balance of the buzzbait is perfect. It does not torque to the side when tuned to run straight."

STYLE C Buzzbait.
Bassdozer says: "I'm sure you've often heard the marketing rhetoric repeated all the time about how a buzzbait should be worked very slowly, right? That's true only at night. During the day, a faster-moving buzzbait can trigger more strikes than the old school slow buzzbaits - just nobody told the marketing guys who are probably better golfers or guitarists than anglers. It's kind of like years ago when everyone said to slowly pop a topwater popper - but today the popper's proven better when worked rapidly to spit!-spit!-spit! rather than slowly pop...same thing with the buzzbait...it's a myth that a slow buzzbait is always the best speed."
The Need for Speed: Style C is the choice for "burning" or working an area quickly to trigger bass into those instinctive, explosive reaction strikes.
More Vibration: Style C really generates a strong vibration like a crankbait makes that you can feel pulsing in your rod tip.
Heavy Cover: With it's streamlined, bullet-shaped nose, the Style C comes through grass and heavy cover while remaining weedless and snagless compared to your typical wider buzzbait heads.
