Description

The DTX MINNOW 8” Heavy Duty is a revolution in trolling minnows, featuring the Patented Autotune ™ System, Metal Matrix Plate system, Diamond Armour internal strength system and Hydrospeed belly eyelet technology, the DTX Heavy Duty series is in a class of its own. The DTX 8” Minnow can be trolled at over 12 knots and will reach a maximum depth of over 40ft+ when trolled at 8-10 knots and 80-100yds. Ideal for the toughest predatory fish like Tuna, Wahoo, Mackerel and Mahi Mahi, the DTX Minnow is your first choice in bluewater trolling lures. The unique body shape design creates a distressed baitfish swimming action, and the concealed Hydrospeed belly eyelet allows faster trolling speeds than conventional tow points. Combined with the Patented Autotune ™ self-tuning towpoint, this lure keeps swimming deep, straight, and true, first time every time. Designed and tested in Australia, Nomad Design lures are not only super tough and durable, but also feature unique colors and most importantly unique and highly effective shapes and actions. Each lure has been designed for a specific purpose and has been balanced and tested to work perfectly with the chosen hooks. Every Nomad Design lure has been crafted by decades of experience on the water to be tougher, last longer and to catch big fish.
