I enjoy fishing the Cape Cod Canal. Since I have a 90 minute commute, each way, when I make it down to fish the Cape Cod Canal, I maximize every minute I have. Given the varying depth, changing current, and complex structures, I cover the water column via wide range of plugs, metals, plastics, and jigs. I find that plug bags are not that helpful on the banks of the Cape Cod Canal. I have been experimenting with alternative plug storage and transport solutions that can accommodate a wide range of presentations from spooks to jigs and everything in between. Today I tested my latest solution, the Canal Cube.
Making your own Canal Cube is easy. First, get a small square plastic bucket. Second, cut several 9″ lengths of PVC drain pipe to fill the cavity of your bucket. Thirdly, remove the bucket’s handle, widen the handle holes using a large enough drill bit to accommodate the diameter of your rope, and lastly secure a rope handle. Lastly, insert the 9″ long PVC drain pipe plug tubes into the bucket.
I am happy to share that my Canal Cube worked surprisingly well. I can carry a wide spectrum of presentations and quickly change up my presentation in seconds. In addition, my Canal Cube fits inside the milk create on my Canal Cruiser.
