FishLab 6.5" 5.5oz Soft Mack Attack

Built for exactly the kind of water we fish here on the Cape Cod Canal, the FishLab Soft Mack Attack is a heavy-duty mackerel-style swimbait designed to stay down, track properly, and keep working in strong current.

With its realistic mackerel profile, heavy integrated jig hook, and hard-kicking paddle tail, the Mack Attack is a natural choice when striped bass are feeding on mackerel, herring, and other larger baitfish moving through the Canal.

The heavier sizes are especially useful when you need to get a presentation down in deep water or maintain contact with the bait during periods of hard-running current. The paddle tail continues to kick whether the bait is being retrieved, swept with the tide, or worked with a lift-and-drop presentation.

For Canal fishing, cast the Mack Attack up-current and allow it to sink to the desired depth before beginning a controlled retrieve. It can be fished near the bottom during heavy current, worked through the middle of the water column, or retrieved faster when bass are actively chasing bait.

Red Top Canal Tip

When the Canal is running hard, don't be afraid to let the Mack Attack sink before starting your retrieve. Keeping the bait deeper and allowing the current to help sweep it through the strike zone can be especially effective when bass are holding below the surface activity.
