Nomad Design Madmacs Sinking High-Speed Lure - Spanish Mackerel 8in

High-velocity offshore trolling lure built to perform

The Nomad Design Madmacs Sinking High-Speed Lure is purpose-built for offshore trolling at blistering speeds from 5 to 20 knots without the burden of extra weight. The 8-inch body is foam-filled for strength and buoyancy, and it features a full internal Metal Matrix Plate System to resist torque and promote a steady swim. At depth, it typically sinks from the surface to about 4–15 feet depending on speed, enabling you to explore multiple layers of the water column with confidence on fast runs and long shifts in wind or current.

Designed to perform across the trolling range, the Autotune System (Pat. Pending) helps maintain consistent motion as you vary speed, reducing the need for constant adjustments while you monitor your spread. Combined with a foam-filled chassis and reinforced internal plates, the Madmacs is built to endure offshore conditions and keep its shape under heavy use, delivering predictable action that helps you evaluate bite cues and follow-through with ease.

Rigging, action, and depth

• Rigged with Inline Single Hooks for immediate deployment and reliable hook-up performance.
• Sinking design that pairs well with a DTX minnow spread to cover multiple water layers (4–15 ft) as speed changes.
• High-speed trolling capability without added ballast simplifies setup and reduces line drag while maintaining balance.

Real-world usage and benefits

In real-world trips, anglers combine the Madmacs with a DTX minnow to sweep a broad vertical slice of water, increasing opportunities to encounter pelagic species such as Spanish mackerel. The lure’s robust build supports repeated trolling sessions, while its ready-to-fish inline-hook configuration shortens downtime between passes. The result is a versatile tool for open-water sessions where speed, depth, and action all matter.

Why anglers consider the Madmacs

• High-speed trolling without extra weight for a streamlined setup across depths.
• Autotune and internal plate system provide stable action across speeds and conditions.
• Foam-filled construction adds rigidity while preserving buoyancy traits for offshore life.
• Inline hook rigging and DTX minnow compatibility support quick, adaptive spreads.
• 8-inch size balances bite visibility with trolling efficiency for offshore trips.

Note: Follow local regulations and inspect gear before fishing. Depth and action can vary with currents, wind, and boat speed.
