July is one of the most exciting months of the year for Cape Cod fishermen. Striped bass are feeding at first light and late night, bluefish are tearing through schools of bait, bonito are beginning to show, and offshore tuna season is hitting full stride. That means the gear you're using matters more than ever.

Here are five of the hottest products at the Goose Hummock that outdoorsmen are reaching for this month.

1. TMF Hardtail Epoxy Jig

When schools of bonito, false albacore, bluefish, and striped bass are chasing small baitfish, few lures are as deadly as the TMF Hardtail Epoxy Jig.

This compact, long-casting lure perfectly imitates juvenile baitfish while its durable epoxy finish stands up to repeated attacks from toothy bluefish. Whether you're casting from the beach, a boat, or kayak, it's one lure that belongs in every tackle bag during July.

Perfect for:

The Hardtail has become one of the signature inshore lures for Cape Cod fishermen looking to cover water and reach breaking fish.

2. JLC Xipi Evo Squid Jig

One of the newest arrivals at The Goose is creating plenty of buzz.

The JLC Xipi Evo is an incredibly realistic squid imitation designed to be fished vertically, cast and retrieved, or slowly worked near the bottom. Available in multiple weights from 60 to 220 grams, it gives anglers an effective presentation for everything from striped bass to offshore species feeding on squid.

With squid remaining an important forage throughout the summer, this lure is quickly becoming a favorite among serious anglers.

3. Shimano Saragosa SW A Spinning Reel

If you're planning on chasing bonito, false albacore, giant bluefin tuna, or hard-running stripers this season, a dependable reel is essential.

The Shimano Saragosa SW A continues to be one of the site's best-selling reels thanks to its incredible drag system, corrosion resistance, and smooth performance under heavy loads. Whether you're casting plugs or battling tuna offshore, this reel has earned its reputation as one of the toughest spinning reels on the market.

4. DADDY MAC DIAMOND JIG

The Goose Hummock recently highlighted the A17 Diamond Jig as one lure every Cape Cod fisherman should own in July—and for good reason.

Diamond jigs excel when fish are feeding on sand eels or other slender baitfish. They're equally effective jigged vertically around rips and structure or cast into breaking schools from shore or boat.

From schoolie stripers to bluefish and bonito, the A17 is a proven producer throughout the summer.

5. 9'er Umbrella Rig

When bass move deeper during the heat of summer, trolling becomes one of the most productive techniques on Cape Cod Bay.

The 9'er Umbrella Rig continues to be one of the hottest trolling presentations of the season. It creates the appearance of a school of baitfish, drawing crushing strikes from striped bass and even bluefish.

Recent Cape Cod fishing reports continue to highlight umbrella rigs as one of the most productive methods for putting quality fish in the boat during July.

Gear Up Before the Bite Gets Even Better

July fishing changes quickly on Cape Cod. One day you're casting epoxy jigs to breaking bluefish, and the next you're chasing the first schools of bonito or running offshore for tuna.

Having the right equipment before the bite peaks can make all the difference.
