Good to see ya back on the review train. I am sure we will be seeing more of these given that winter is looming for you. I look forward to seeing future content.

I absolutely LOVE my Madbull!!!! I own 2 of them and the Super Destroyer. These P5 models are an absolute JOY to fish!!

Very sharp looking rod. I liked the advice to purchase from a dealer and not marketplace. The video cut always are gold. You clearly do these things for work and the finer details are appreciated Be well my friend

I think a great budget alternative is the dobyns fury 7’ medium heavy crankbait rod

I have a 733 which does a nice job on a lot of things. Brian is right. Don’t ask this category to fish off of the bottom.

Good review. Having 2 of these helps a ton. 1 for braid and 1 for floro. Every day I fish the madbulls I become more in love with them. I have a third one on the way. Works great for the reaction baits you mentioned. Where this really shines for me is that it brings me back to the days of dialing in a rod. You have a model that you put so much time in that it feels like an extension of your body. This is now that rod for me. I can pick it up and do most reaction baits with it. Cranks, topwater, chatterbaits, spinnerbait, buzzbaits, etc. I went down the rabbit hole of having a rod for every specific technique imaginable and there comes a point where you either need to bring 50 rods each time out and you have to spend tons of time dialing in each rod. It’s nice to grab 2 of these and know you have a large category of moving baits covered. I’ve also always preferred shorter rods so the length is great for me. I can cast basically as far as my 7’6 rods with it. Just buy another one and you’ll love them even more. 😜

I agree it is one of my favorite rods. I love the grips on the P5's. It is one of those types of rods that always seems to be in your hand and not on your deck.

I think you mentioned everything the mad bull is really good at. Squarebills has become a favorite of mine to throw on this as well. (That evoke 2.0) I own 2 madbulls and at one point it was the only rod I reached for because top water season! The handle when wet was the downside but it didn’t bother me at all. Oh I happen to throw bigger jerk baits on the mad bull like the ito shiner for example. I think it does a good job handling it.

Nice! Looking forward to the nrx+ vids

The Smallmouth I'm holding in my profile picture was caught on the Madbull, and it will most definitely fish Rapala DT- 6 to DT-10 and equivalent crankbaits with authority. It also fish's the Megabass Magdraft 5" to 6" pre-rigged swimbaits, River2Sea Ruckus Lipless crankbait and the Whopper Plopper 90 size. I have it paired with a Shimano Aldebaran 51 reel that's spooled with Power Pro Super SlickV2 15lb.braid and I use Sunline Super Sniper Flourocarbon with 8lb. to 14lb. leader. The Madbull is an excellent multi purpose rod. My personal favorite presentation is the Megabass Sonic Side or River2Sea Biggie Smalls squarebill crankbaits.

I love this rod. I throw shallow cranks,spinner baits, chatter baits,lipless cranks,top water ploppers and walking baits, pretty much any reaction type lure this rod will handle it. I even like throwing 3 to 5 inch jig hook swim baits on it. Love your gear reviews keep them coming.

Thank's for watching!

You’re definitely right about the warranty. That’s why I’m surprised that so many folks sell these P5’s close to retail on Facebook. I wouldn’t buy a P5 or NRX+ without the warranty.

I run Sunline Defier Armilo on mine. I don't mind throwing mono with shallow running squarebills. That way I can throw whatever I want. Topwater or Crank. I have other rods to throw mid depth style cranks with fluoro.

The madbull is so cool to fish with. i luv using My longbill crank (from my own Brand > Warp Crank 72 Digital Squad Fishing). When using longbill you feel so smooth with this great rod tip. i own super destroyer P5 too but sitll not tested it but from now Madbull is just amazing. Greetings from France

Hello! Thanks for watching!

I use my Madbull for Carolina rigs and it's great. You mentioned sensitivity but didn't really go into it. This rod is so sensitive that you can actually feel the fish just nibbling on the bait and/or actually swallowing it. I have mine paired with shimano's lightest reel Aldebaran, which makes this combo super super light.

It’s also a good deep crank rod for medium size cranks like Megabass deep deep x 300 etc.

For single hook moving baits I absolutely love my Evergreen Orion Black Rose. Caught my PB on it this August fishing a chatterbait. Shoutout to the boujee JDM tackle! 🎉

Great review. I couldn’t agree more with everything you said. This rod is a jack of all trades for reaction baits, but a master of none with the possible exception of a lucky craft 2.5. It never truly found a home in my lineup so I am selling it. I picked up the 7 foot Rebellion glass rod to throw squarebills and was truly impressed. Weights a gram less than the Madbull and got it for $170 with your Omnia coupon code.

@@shanekelley1824 shallow cranks 1/4 to 5/8 are fantastic on that rod. You can throw a lipless, mini max chatterbait, 3/8 jackhammer, smaller whopper plopper (it did fine with a 90). The rod is rated up to an ounce, but I haven’t pushed it past 3/4.

I'm stuck between the super destroyer and this for using spinnerbaits 1/2oz top water walking baits 1/2oz poppers, and possibly over sized flukes, buzz baits in a river that has really heavy cover and tall weedlines. I wanted to order one or the other before vacation

Any chance we can get a full review on the tequila baccarac soon? Super interested in getting one as an all around heavy bait rod but no one has done a proper in depth review on it (that I have found)

I own a madnbull this not my go to rod but craning deep dive are so confort with . Great for big spoon too and Chatterbait. This is not bottom contact rod . Thanks

I was honestly kind of hoping you would compare the mad bull to other great rods that would be similar or compete closely with like either a steez rod or an NRX+ rod. The main reason for that since many of those are fairly available now and I would prefer buying either of those more since the warranty on both the steez and NRX+ are way better. Thanks

I know this is a mad bull review but I am hoping you can give me some insight into the p5 jungle 7 punching rod Is it a rod that you can use 65# braid? It says 2oz so is that true or is it really 1.5oz rod? Thanks for any help

Do a complete collection video!!

I’m so surprised at how versatile this rod is. I’ve used it for everything even bottom contact, and it’s really sensitive. Probably my favorite thing to throw are oversized jerkbaits like the 110 max LBO up to the kanata.

Hello, please tell me which Megabass Destroyer model you need to purchase for catching 110-130 jerkbait???? I’m considering a model under 110-130 jerkbait F5-70X MadBull? I’m thinking right? This rod is suitable for these tasks????

I prob would never buy that rod even though it does look great. But still enjoyed learning about it. Thanks Brian

Tell me which model is more powerful visually, Super Destroyer 69 or Mad Bull 70 in your opinion, which model seems faster in action?

Use my Madbull for 3/4 oz Damiki Vault. Nice sensitivity and action for this technique.

How does this compare to the Orochii Swingfire?

@jimbo0411

Жыл бұрын

Being the swingfire is glass composite, it's gotta be a little softer and more parabolic. Swingfire is pretty hard to find now. Hook up tackle says swingfire is good at throwing lighter small cranks where the madbull is graphic parabolic more for 1/2 oz and over weights, bigger treble hook 2.5 and larger walking baits. The swingfire would probable feel more softer. I have the madbull and a Megabass Tomahawk glass crank rod. I actually use an ALX glass rod for chatterbait than the madbull but it will work.
