Want to test punch bait? Try doing it over unbaited water, in an area not baited with milo or range cubes. If it pulls fish to it it will work any where their are fish. Sometimes you just can't fish a baited hole. That's when you need one that pulls them in. Stubbys works great on baited holes, Big Marv's is my go to bait for everywhere.

We fish nonbaited holes often with Stubby’s. Never have trouble catching fish. Fishing non baited areas is one way we find new spots. I agree, nearly anything will work on a baited hole. BUT, since the original question is about punch bait, I don’t have an answer. I will stick with the dough bait and still help as many people as I can become better fisherman regardless of what bait they choose. As I have tried to do for several years now.

i wooda bet $$$ that u had baited holes Littlewheel...STUBBY'S is better bait than i dreamed of since you ketch all those in NON-baited holes...Daddy always cheated with soured wheat in Lake Kemp

I don’t always fish non baited holes. Never said I did. We fish baited holes also. I said that when we go looking for new spots, we never have trouble catching fish. Those spots we fish when scouting are not baited. Just simply saying that we catch fish on baited and non baited holes with Stubby’s.

Sure Shot works just fine for me. I'm not purist enough to punch bait fish without chum

Channel cats are like Sand Bass, if I'm doing it, its for someone that wants to catch them or I'm after a 3 digit fish day give me all the chum.

Another vote for Stubbys! Also, the dang Labrador will eat half a jug and smell like satans hind end if you leave it on the counter. Ask me how I know!

I want to thank all you guys for using stubbys cheese bait

i see everyone that likes stubby are from lake fork just supporting your locale Guide witch is good where the other lakes that will give a real true report ? just asking !

nope, i fish for cats on Lake Murvaul and ketch'm off my fishin' dock in 4 ft water...

We have guides on Lake Fork, Lake O’The Pines, Lake Palestine, Lake Lewisville,Ray Roberts ,and Lake Tawakoni that use our bait. We have it in over 40 stores in East Texas and ship bait to 14 different states. And yes , we do appreciate all the support from the local fisherman!

Why do you recommend no weight with the stubbys?

Because the bait is dense enough for it to go to the bottom without a weight. And, you can feel the bite a lot better without weight. I use 1/8 oz steel egg sinkers occasionally when the wind is high.

well I guess I will it aign I have no hope for the stuff ! it hasent made me a beliver yet !

I've tried them all and they all catch fish if the fish bite it. Right now I have Sure Shot, Danny Kings, CJ's, ChemDawg, and a couple more. If you want a dip bait, Bill's and Sonny's are good. It depends on where you fish as to what is recommended. South Texas is Marv's country, Central Texas seems to Be CJ's country, North Texas is Sure Shot, and Lake Fork is Stubby's. You said you wanted 5 gallons. That's a lot of bait. Anyway, good luck in what ever you choose.
