Meat Punches

by

Punching meat? It worked for Rocky Balboa. With any luck and a bit of patience maybe it will help you bag a ‘heavyweight’. Tenuous links to 80’s boxing films aside, meat punches are all about keeping your bait in shape.

Big fish are not stupid, they learn and adapt. Whilst meat cut into cubes is normally very successful, if a venue is heavily fished you will know that fish will ‘switch off’ when presented with certain baits. Well, just as flavour and colour have a huge influence on the effectiveness of your bait, so too does shape. Cutting luncheon meat into cubes is easy and quick. But a wary Carp will soon make the link between a geometric shaped bait and a big fight, especially if he has seen it before.

Further to this chopping up meat can get a bit messy. The oils that release into the water also like to stick to fingers. Not the most pleasant. In the angling world there is the tendency to come prepared for any scenario, but adding a cutting board and a decent knife to your box can be unnecessary clutter, especially when you can simply have something the size of a pen in your pocket.

Meat punches are a breeze to use. Open the can, push your punch into your bait of choice, and hook it. They are economical too. There is less wastage and you can pick your punch dependent on hook size, meaning less fiddling on the bank and more fishing.
