Watch how the Madmacs changed the game in Southern California, sparking a fishing frenzy so wild that anglers lined up for hours - some even in costume - just for a chance to grab one. The Madmacs didn’t just catch fish, it started a movement.
The Madmacs is a sinking, high-speed trolling lure built for wahoo and tuna. Thanks to the Patented Autotune™ System, it runs perfectly straight with an incredible vibrating action at any speed from 5 to 20 knots depending on the model. Whether you’re trolling slow or full throttle, the Madmacs delivers unmatched performance and versatility, making it a must-have lure for every offshore spread.
The Madmacs is part of Nomad’s High-Speed Power Trio, a deadly trolling setup for wahoo, yellowfin, and bluefin tuna. When paired with the DTX 180 HD and Madscad 190 Autotune™ this spread can be trolled at speeds up to 18 knots, delivering three unique lure actions that trigger explosive strikes from the ocean’s top predators.
