Punch Rig (Skirted Punch Rig, Slither Rig)
|
The Punch Rig (also called Skirted Punch Rig or Slither Rig) consists of a special shaped weight with an attached skirt paired with a hook (Flipping, Offset, or EWG) and soft plastic bait (typically a creature or craw). The Punch Rig is designed for flipping and pitching into heavy cover, most often grass or thick/matted vegetation. More streamlined in shape than a jig, the punch rig can slip through weeds and into holes where big bass often hold on hot summer days. Tungsten has emerged recently as superior to traditional lead punch weights as the denser material allows for a more compact weight to more easily penetrate thick cover and matted vegetation.

Harmony Tackle for the Punch Rig
Tungsten Skirted Punch Weight MSS Kit (2 Pack, Modular Skirts)
$10.29 - $16.29
- Harmony's Tungsten Punch Weight Modular-Skirt-System™ Kit Includes two (2) Tungsten Skirted Punch Weights (also called slither rigs) and four (4) skirts. This kit has you covered with 4 skirt colors for any jig fishing situation.
- Tungsten weights are almost twice as dense as lead. That means your tungsten weight is nearly half the size of a comparable lead weight. Smaller weights mean fewer hangups and easier punching through heavy cover and mats, allowing you to spend less time unhanging lures and more time fishing. Because tungsten weights are more dense than lead, they transmit vibration better up your line for greater sensitivity when fishing hard bottom or rock/wood cover areas.
- Skirted punch weights are incredibly effective in thick cover. More streamlined than jigs, punch weights slide through heavy grass and mats with less hangups. When you need to penetrate heavy cover to get your bait in front of the big ones, you need a skirted punch weight. Simply slide your line through the weight's hole, tie on an offset, EWG, or flipping hook, and attach your favorite soft plastic bait to start fishing Harmony's skirted punch weight / slither rig.
