Madcat Tight-S Shallow 12cm 1m 65g Perch

Madcat Tight-S Shallow — Powerful Shallow-Water Catfish Crankbait

The Madcat Tight-S Shallow in Perch is a 12 cm rattling crankbait engineered to provoke aggressive strikes from catfish hunting in the top meter of the water column.

Tight flanking action with built-in rattle

This floating crankbait combines a compact, tight swimming motion with pronounced flanking movement that triggers predatory instincts. The integrated rattle chamber amplifies vibration and sound, helping catfish locate the lure even in murky water or low-light conditions. Running down to 1 m depth, it excels in shallow channels, floodplains, and over submerged structure.

Battle-ready hardware for big fish

Armed with two size 2/0 treble hooks, the Tight-S Shallow delivers the strength and sharpness needed to hook and hold powerful catfish. The robust construction and heavy-duty split rings ensure the lure withstands brutal strikes and hard fights without compromising performance.

Choose the right variant

The Madcat Tight-S Shallow 12 cm series is available in four colour schemes to match forage and water clarity:

• Rudd – silver-bodied pattern mimicking common cyprinids

• Firetiger UV – UV-reactive finish for deeper water or murky conditions
