I gonna try to punch some matts in a couple weeks and was wondering what your favorite baits? 

Missile Baits d bomb.

For me it's the RI Sweeet Beaver.

It has the perfect size, and action for punching.

Iike the strike king rage tail menace and the rodent for punching mats.

For me it depends on how thick the stuff is I'm punching through.  The thicker the slop then the more compact the plastic bait.

PowerTeam Lures Bully Grass Devil and 4.5" Food Chain Tube.

Havoc Pit Boss, YUM Wooley Bug, Big Bites YoDaddy, and Netbait B Bug.

Pit boss

Thanks for all the replys this will help a lot

This.

At the risk of making them even harder (for me) to find- I have had great success this year with the big bites yodaddy.

The pit boss seems to have alot of support here.

Tubes are great.

The mats you'll be punching are pretty thick. Think slim and compact- tubes, bb crickets, senkos- etc. I'd start there and then increase the profile (or not) as the fish deem necessary.

Good luck!

No love for the devil spear?

I use Ragetail smoking rooster, Ragetail Craws, D&M Punchcraw or Flipping craw  for super thick stuff and Berkley pitt boss for moderate mats to punch through.
