Styled on the typical deep bellied baitfish that are prevalent all over the globe. The Madscad has been designed to be effective in all environments, in a range of sizes for a huge variety of species. This design has been refined over years of testing and many prototypes to get the perfect balance between castability and unique swimming action. This is the go to distance casting stickbait that has set the standard in many fisheries around the world since it’s launch in 2015.

The key design features like the flattened top of the head, the scalloped sides and small tail wings all combine to make the action on this lure truly dynamic. An erratic swimming action when twitched, producing a pronounced thumping side-to-side darting action. Combined with a level sink and an enticing wiggle on the drop that allow the sides to give off flash and look more like a wounded bait fish. The recommended retrieve when casting is a couple of quick twitches and then a 2-3 second pause to let the lure slowly sink and wiggle and then twitch it again.
