Nomad Madscad Autotune 115mm Lure

A versatile 115mm sub-surface stickbait with Nomad's Autotune tow point, delivering a wide S-swimming action with less effort for pelagics and reef predators.

The Nomad Madscad Autotune 115mm Lure is a 42g sub-surface casting stickbait designed as a versatile everyday option for bluewater lure fishing. Combining the proven Madscad baitfish profile with Nomad's Autotune tow point technology, it produces a natural S-swimming action while remaining easy to work across different retrieve speeds.

The Autotune system provides increased freedom of movement through the nose of the lure, helping create wider side-to-side action and body roll with less rod input. It can be worked slowly, manipulated with the rod or burned quickly when predators are actively chasing bait, while its sub-surface presentation keeps it below the surface and in the strike zone when fish are reluctant to commit to topwater lures.

Key Benefits

• Autotune Tow Point – Provides increased freedom of movement at the nose to generate a wider S-swimming action with less angler input.
• Sub-Surface Action – Keeps the lure below the surface and in the strike zone when predators are feeding beneath the topwater layer.
• Versatile 115mm Profile – Designed as an everyday bluewater casting size for pelagic and reef predators.
• Multiple Retrieve Options – Can be fished slowly, worked with deliberate rod movements or retrieved quickly to match changing fish behaviour.
• Consistent Tracking – The self-correcting Autotune action helps maintain a stable presentation across slow, medium and fast retrieves.
• Deep-Sided Baitfish Profile – Works with the Autotune system to increase body roll and side-to-side movement for a convincing baitfish presentation.
• Built for Casting – The 42g design provides a practical combination of casting weight and baitfish profile for saltwater lure fishing.

Expert Advice

The 115mm Madscad Autotune is a useful size when you want enough profile to attract offshore predators without moving to a large bluewater stickbait. Start with a steady retrieve and allow the Autotune tow point to produce the S-swimming action. When fish are following without striking, slow down and introduce pauses or controlled rod movements to keep the lure in front of them longer. If predators are aggressively chasing bait, increase the retrieve speed and use the lure's consistent tracking to cover water quickly. Match your spinning outfit, braid and leader strength to the species, structure and drag pressure required for the location.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Nomad Madscad Autotune 115mm designed for?

The 115mm model is designed as a versatile bluewater casting lure for pelagic and reef predators. Its 42g weight and baitfish profile make it a practical everyday size when casting around feeding fish, reefs and other productive offshore areas.

How should I retrieve the Madscad Autotune 115mm?

You can use slow, medium or fast retrieves depending on fish behaviour. A steady retrieve allows the lure to produce its natural S-swimming action, while rod movements and pauses can add variation. When predators are actively chasing bait, the lure can also be worked quickly.

What does Autotune technology do on the Madscad?

Nomad's Autotune tow point allows increased movement through the nose of the lure, helping it generate a wider S-swimming action with less rod work. It also helps the lure track consistently across different retrieve speeds.

When should I use a sub-surface stickbait instead of a surface lure?

A sub-surface stickbait is particularly useful when predators are feeding below the surface or following topwater lures without committing. The Madscad Autotune stays beneath the surface, allowing you to keep the presentation in the strike zone while varying retrieve speed and action.
