Why It’s the Best Cape Cod Canal Lure
Navigating the ditch requires gear that can reach the strike zone through roaring 4+ knot tides. Traditional plugs and lightweight soft plastics often sweep right over hungry fish suspended in the deep structure. The 5.5oz Canal Shad balances extreme casting distance with an optimal sink rate, giving jigging anglers total control whether fishing the East End, West End, or deep ditch rocks.
