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.

Green Mack Attack shad
good price on a swim shad that looks real under water. heavy 5.5 oz. gets down near bottom in the CCC.

Heavily outperforms other shad baits
I fish all the shad baits HARD on the canal... Savages, Gags, Megashads, Zinger baits, Skeleton Lures, Fishlabs, etc... Canal baits' performance n consistency vs the others is pretty incomparable. (My opinion).

Canal Attack Shad
A must for every canal bag. Stocked up on 5 preseason as they will go fast when the canal bite really picks up. A proven winner i. 2021 so I needed to stock up.
