Nomad Design Madmacs High-Speed Offshore Trolling Lure – 200mm Red Bait with BKK Hooks

Meet the Nomad Design Madmacs High-Speed Trolling Lure, a sinking minnow built for offshore exploration with big-game intent. At 200mm (8 inches), it presents a lifelike silhouette and vivid red bait that can shimmer in open water as it moves through depth and speed. This lure is designed to perform in the demanding environment of offshore trolling, where stability and action matter as much as visibility.

Designed for big game

The Madmacs is engineered to attract top pelagic predators such as albacore, kingfish, mahi-mahi, bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, and wahoo during fast offshore trolling. The lure profile and premium finish are crafted to provoke deliberate strikes while avoiding excessive noise or unnatural motion that can spook wary fish.

• Targets big game species through high-speed offshore trolling
• Maintains lifelike action at extreme speeds in open water

Rugged, reliable construction

Built to endure serious offshore use, this lure features a heavy-duty through-wire frame, an HD ABS body, and internal reinforcement to withstand pelagic pressure and frequent strikes from powerful predators. The result is a resilient, repeatable performance that stands up to hard trolling sessions.

• Heavy-duty through-wire frame for maximum strength
• HD ABS exterior with internal reinforcement for resilience

Realistic action and ready to fish

The Madmacs showcases a wide swimming motion, premium finishes, and a lifelike baitfish profile that invites aggressive strikes from tuna, wahoo, and other saltwater giants. It ships pre-rigged with corrosion-resistant BKK Diablo 5X hooks and premium hardware, so you can troll straight away.

• Pre-rigged with corrosion-resistant BKK hooks and premium hardware

Autotune system and performance ideas

Included is the Autotune System, which helps maintain tuned action as conditions change. The combination of ballast and silhouette is designed to keep the lure performing consistently over long offshore trips. Benefits vary with water and speed, so experimentation can help you find a good match for the day.

Color and visibility play a role as well; the red bait finish stands out against blue water, aiding tracking during long runs and helping you monitor line and lure position from the cockpit.

Operational notes and expectations

For best results, start at moderate speeds and adjust according to water clarity and current. The Madmacs is designed to run straight and stable at high speeds, delivering lifelike action that can entice offshore predators. Pair with appropriate tackle to support sustained trolling and to handle powerful strikes.
