Canal Tackle® 5" 2oz Canal Shad | Heavy Current Sinking Swimbaits
When the tide turns and the current rips, light lures simply won't reach where big predators feed. The Canal Tackle® 5" 2oz Canal Shad Sinking Jig is step-up firepower engineered to punch through fast-moving water, strong wind, and deep channels. Combining a 5" profile that matches adult baitfish with a heavy 2oz lead head, this lure drops fast, holds bottom in crushing currents, and maintains a relentless, thumping action.
While Northeast anglers rely on the 2oz Canal Shad for holding the bottom in the Cape Cod Canal for Striped Bass, saltwater anglers across Florida and the East Coast consider it the ultimate weapon for trophy Snook.
Built for Florida’s Deepest, Fastest Inshore Waters
Monster snook don't sit in lazy water—they ambush prey in deep, high-flow shadow lines and heavy tide rips. The 2oz weight gives you the precise control needed to drift right past bridge pilings, hold bottom in deep ocean inlets like Sebastian and Jupiter, or bounce deep residential canal cuts during peak spring and fall tides.
Key Features:
-
Heavy-Duty 2oz Lead Head: Keeps your lure pinned in the lower third of the water column through ripping tides and heavy swell.
-
Full-Bodied 5" Profile: Perfectly mimics adult mullet, menhaden/bunker, threadfin herring, and pilchards.
-
High-Vibration Paddle Tail: Generates micro-thump resonance to attract snook, stripers, and tarpon in dark, stained, or low-light waters.
-
Commercial-Grade Saltwater Hook: Engineered to withstand violent, head-shaking strikes and keep trophy fish pinned around abrasive pilings and rip-rap.
