Punch Skirts

Never used them... Have you?

Is this rigging correct?

Hook - Skirt - Weight - Peg? just add the preferred plastic?
Does the weight need to be pegged for correct performance?

If you truly are punching thick cover, you need to peg the weight. Otherwise it will separate from the bait. The weight will fall down to the bottom but the bait will get hung up on branches and debris. I use bobber stoppers above the weight. Your order is correct.
