Madcat Tight-S Shallow 12cm 1m 65g Firetiger UV

Madcat Tight-S Shallow — Wakes Up Aggressive Catfish in the Top Meter

The Madcat Tight-S Shallow is a 12 cm rattling crankbait designed to hunt catfish just beneath the surface, running down to 1 meter with a tight yet flanking action that triggers strikes in shallow zones.

Shallow-Running Vibration That Catfish Can't Ignore

This lure's narrow wobble combined with internal rattles creates a high-frequency disturbance that carries through murky water and low-light conditions. The floating buoyancy lets you work it over snags, rocks, and weed beds where big catfish ambush prey, pausing to let it rise back into the strike zone.

Built to Handle Brutal Hooksets

Armed with two size 2/0 trebles—each sharpened and reinforced for catfish—the Tight-S Shallow anchors hard and stays pinned through head-shakes and surges. The 65 g body casts long and dives quickly on the retrieve, then floats back up when you stop, giving catfish a second look at an easy meal.

• Rudd — Natural silver flanks with red fins; mimics roach and rudd in European waters

• Glow — Phosphorescent body; deep water, night sessions, and ultra-low visibility
