Madcat Tight-S Deep 5m 16cm 70g Glow-In-The-Dark

Madcat Tight-S Deep — Deep-Running Power for Big Catfish

The Madcat Tight-S Deep is a rattling crankbait engineered to reach trophy catfish holding in depths up to 5 metres, combining aggressive vibration with a tight flanking action that triggers strikes from even the most cautious predators.

Dives Deep, Stays in the Strike Zone

With a diving depth of up to 5 m, this 16 cm crankbait gets down to where large catfish patrol and holds its running depth consistently. The integrated rattle sends out low-frequency vibrations that catfish detect from a distance, while the tight but flanking swimming action mimics a struggling baitfish. Whether you're trolling drop-offs, working deep channels, or probing submerged structures, the Tight-S Deep maintains its fish-attracting movement even in current.

Built to Handle Brutal Strikes

Catfish don't hit lures gently, and this crankbait is built accordingly. Two super-strong, razor-sharp size 2/0 treble hooks are positioned to maximise hook-ups and hold fish securely through headshakes and runs. The robust construction and quality hardware withstand the punishment of repeated contact with rocks, wood, and the bone-hard mouths of big cats, so you can fish structure-rich zones with confidence.

Choose the Right Variant

The Tight-S Deep series offers four colour options to match water clarity and light conditions:

• Glow-In-The-Dark — ideal for murky water, night fishing, and low-light conditions; charges in sunlight or with a torch and glows to attract catfish in darkness

• Rudd — natural baitfish pattern for clear to moderately stained water and daytime fishing

• Firetiger UV — high-contrast option with UV-reactive finish for deeper water and active fish

• Candy — bright, eye-catching colour for stained water and overcast days
