What is the best punching hook?

Right on. The mustad keepers looked soldered, that would be nice

I've had good luck with these Mustad hooks.

VMC punching hooks are sharp, and they have a good, reliable keeper. I use an O ring on my baits, 3/8" down onto the nose of the bait, and pass the hook point through the nose and just past the O ring, turn the hook sideways, and pull it out until the keeper is exposed, and then turn it back to engage the O ring. I don't lose baits anymore.

And the hook eyes are closed with epoxy, so my snelled braid doesn't ever slide down into the hook eye.
