About this piece
The Daiwa Great Madaq is a specialized octopus lure designed for targeting true octopus (madako). It features a scientifically engineered body and claw action to trigger the octopus's instinct to hold, improving hook-up ratios.
Key features
- Updated version with newly designed realistic claw action
- Compatible with both standard Madaq hooks and larger Madaq Big hooks (sold separately)
- Single pin system for easy hook and claw replacement
- Floats with tail up near the bottom to prevent weight-hugging and missed hooksets
- Fine brass legs create subtle vibration on the pause for finicky octopus
Best for
- Targeting true octopus (madako) in saltwater environments
- Fishing in areas with moderate to strong currents
- Anglers seeking a high-hold-rate lure with quick hook-change convenience
- Use in regions where lost gear is a concern, due to snag-recovery friendly fine wire hooks
