{"product_id":"cjs-punch-bait","title":"CJ's Punch Bait","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCJ's Punch Bait\u003c\/strong\u003e is a cheese-based catfish bait built around natural cattail fiber that helps the bait grip a bare treble hook without a sponge, dip worm, or other bait holder. Instead of molding the bait by hand, place the treble hook on top of the bait, push it down with a stick, and pull the hook out at an angle so the fibers load the hook with a dense coating of bait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fibrous texture is designed to hold through repeated casts and stay on the hook better in moving water than many softer prepared baits. That makes CJ's Punch Bait useful for bottom-fishing lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams where channel catfish and other feeding catfish are locating bait by scent. Multiple flavor formulas let anglers change scent profiles without changing the basic punch-bait presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheese-based prepared catfish punch bait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural cattail fibers help the bait cling directly to a treble hook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo sponge or dip-bait holder required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHands-off loading method: punch the hook into the bait with a stick and pull it out at an angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFibrous consistency helps the bait remain on the hook in current and during repeated presentations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive flavor choices for changing scent profiles: Crawdad, Monster, Shad, Skipjack, and Wild Hopper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple tub sizes for individual anglers, frequent fishing, or higher-volume use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlavors: Crawdad, Monster, Shad, Skipjack, and Wild Hopper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable sizes: 14 oz Tub, 1\/2 Gallon Tub, and 1 Gallon Tub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended presentation: treble hook punched directly into the bait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater type: freshwater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimary target: catfish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Uses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFish CJ's Punch Bait on or near the bottom around channel edges, creek mouths, flats, holes, current seams, and other areas where catfish travel and feed. A simple bottom rig with a treble hook keeps the presentation straightforward. Punch the hook into the bait, pull it free at an angle to load the fibers, and cast to the target area. The fiber-heavy consistency is especially useful in rivers and streams where current can strip softer bait from the hook more quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CJ's Bait Co.","offers":[{"title":"Crawdad \/ 14 oz Tub","offer_id":45340474998899,"sku":"NT-CJ-CRAW-PT","price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Crawdad \/ 1\/2 Gallon Tub","offer_id":45340474966131,"sku":"NT-CJ-CRAW-HG","price":13.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Crawdad \/ 1 Gallon Tub","offer_id":45340474933363,"sku":"NT-CJ-CRAW-GAL","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Monster \/ 14 oz Tub","offer_id":45340475097203,"sku":"NT-CJ-MONS-PT","price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Monster \/ 1\/2 Gallon Tub","offer_id":45340475064435,"sku":"NT-CJ-MONS-HG","price":13.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Monster \/ 1 Gallon Tub","offer_id":45340475031667,"sku":"NT-CJ-MONS-GAL","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Shad \/ 14 oz Tub","offer_id":45340475195507,"sku":"NT-CJ-SHAD-PT","price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Shad \/ 1\/2 Gallon Tub","offer_id":45340475162739,"sku":"NT-CJ-SHAD-HG","price":13.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Shad \/ 1 Gallon Tub","offer_id":45340475129971,"sku":"NT-CJ-SHAD-GAL","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Skipjack \/ 14 oz Tub","offer_id":45340475293811,"sku":"NT-CJ-SKIP-PT","price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Skipjack \/ 1\/2 Gallon Tub","offer_id":45340475261043,"sku":"NT-CJ-SKIP-HG","price":13.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Skipjack \/ 1 Gallon Tub","offer_id":45340475228275,"sku":"NT-CJ-SKIP-GAL","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Wild Hopper \/ 14 oz Tub","offer_id":45340475392115,"sku":"NT-CJ-WILD-PT","price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wild Hopper \/ 1\/2 Gallon Tub","offer_id":45340475359347,"sku":"NT-CJ-WILD-HG","price":13.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Wild Hopper \/ 1 Gallon Tub","offer_id":45340475326579,"sku":"NT-CJ-WILD-GAL","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/nationaltackle.com\/products\/cjs-punch-bait","provider":"National Tackle \u0026 Outdoor Distributors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
