    What weight to punch grass in Cat?

    What size weight is it taking to punch the grass there? Also, anyone care to share what they are using? Was going to try a 1 1/4oz tungsten on a baby brush hog(might have to remove some arms) or a 4"tube.

    Also saw those Paycheck punch skirts and hooks. Anyone have any info on them?

    Re: What weight to punch grass in Cat? (MisterE)

    ive never fished the cat before but i would think 1 1/4 oz weight is way overkill i may be wrong , but in my opinion 1/2 ounce should be plenty , even running a carolina rig i wouldnt go larger than 3/4 oz.

    Re: What weight to punch grass in Cat? (dirtdemon)

    I use A 1 oz for the heavy grass , the grass is really thick in some places you CANT get A bait in it , but theres lots of places thats not as thick or that have holes all in the grass that you dont have to have A real heavy bait to get in . But I was catchin A few last weekend on the edges of the grass with A redbug trick worm and A 1/4 oz weight !!!!!!!!

    Man, that gives totally new meaning behind my question then?

    Here's the link to that Paycheck punch bait. Looks good. He's also using a very heavy weight.

    Punching grass on the Cat is slowing down now, gotta crank something like a DB-22 along the edges, thats the ticket!

    I saw you out there I can't believe you caught that kind of weight. I thought you were broke down. Looks like that hump is paying off.

    Yea you should have stopped, man we were realy smoking them, I was catching a fish on every cast, I broke off a lot of fish, there is a lot of junk at the bottom. I guess that is what is holding the fish there. can't wait to go back.

    You right I'm stopping next time. Not sure if I can do that well but I'd would like to give it a try. The one good thing about fishing out there is getting away from the crowd. Not a boat in sight.
