Back when I use to throw swimbaits, the best rod I found for punkers was the iRod large Swim. The light weight and shorter length was great. Only downfall is that it is a stout rod for swimbaits with trebles, so you really have to grind the fish in.

I've only used a couple models of the iRods (Large & Jumbo) and Dobyns (806, 807 & 867) though.

There is some searchable stuff on the swimbaits forum discussing Punker rod choice and line.
