Anyone here use it? How is it?

It's punch bait, if there are feeding fish in the area, they will bite.

Will be picking up 5gallons tomorrow.I like it better than any I have used.

Where do you get 5 gallons of it and which kind do y'all like?

I have had excellent luck with his shad

I like the shad flavor or the monster.

i use it when I fish with the kids. if they are their it does not take long for em to find it. it works well. like tck73 said if they are there, they will bite it.

Go to the web page and order it. If your a guide, call Charles he might work a deal for ya on 5 gallons. I like the shad flavor myself. But a friend uses the crawdad flavor and odes real good also. My go to punch baits are CJ's shad, dough bait is Stubby's and my dip bait is Doc's blood bait. If one ain't working, go to the other until you find what they want for that day.

Ask Obiewan57 if CJ's is any good.

I have not had any luck with CJ's but I haven't tried it in years-- I mainly use Danny King's Blood/Garlic flavors

You can order it in 5 gallon from CJ. Mr Charlie Jones.Look up his site and give him a call.

Weldon is the one who told me about it. Some great advice there. He hammers them on Crawdad.

I've used CJ's for a year biggest cat 39# smallest is 16#. I wouldn't use anything else!

Good stuff for sure

What lake are you fishing that the smallest fish you caught on punch bait was 16#?

Wait, what?

I bet they put up a fight !!

Thanks for the input fellas. Those are some legit catfish

I keep some on the boat just in case I run out of Shad or when I'm just fishing for eaters.

I've tried most all of them and these are the ones that work best for me.

CJ's Shad - the Monster is ok but I prefer the Shad.
Danny King - Blood

Still need to try Stubbys. Never had much luck with the grasshopper, Crawford or minnow flavor. I bet they would work in ponds better than lakes though just a guess.

I use cj shad when the channel cat are spawning and do well. I have tried the crawfish on lakes that live crawfish work well and not done as well as using the shad bait.

Tried the shad bait for about an hour at the Brazos river today. No go.

I tried one can of CJ's Minnow flavor and never caught a Conroe cat on it. Chicken livers and live shad are my catching baits for channels, cut bream/carp for blues, and live bream for ole Big Lips.

I have been using CJ's punch bait since 2008 on my boat.
This is a chart of what has been caught on my boat since 2008. 99% are catfish.

Holy [censored] who keeps up with every fish caught on a boat. I thought my OCD was bad.

Cjs crawdad flavor here at falcon lake never fails!!!!

I bought some of the shad at Academy today. Gonna try to get out to Lavon and try it tomorrow.

If I'm Catfishing its Cj's or Danny Kings.punch bait, milo chum and Range cubes.

I did an experiment with punch bait on Lake Somerville when I first tried it, a couple years ago. Anchored and cast out different rods with shrimp, fresh shad, worms, and punch bait. I couldn't set the punch bait rod down long enough to give the other baits much of a try, as it was always being hit by cats. If they are in the area, punch bait will let you know, as they will definitely hit it. And if they are in the area, you won't have time, or enough hands, to fish more than one rod! I don't catch big cats on it (cut shad is better) but I definitely fill the stringer with it. That's been my experience over the years.

Good info.
