Description

The Nomad Design Ridgeback is a versatile hybrid jig built to fish effectively at both slow and fast speeds. Its angled head and back-slide body give it an erratic sideways kick on the lift, followed by a controlled flutter and fast sink that gets it back into the strike zone quickly. Fished slow, the Ridgeback works well for slow pitch jigging, hanging and fluttering before dropping again. Worked fast, it shoots aggressively from side to side, making it a great option for triggering reaction bites from pelagic species, rockfish, and other bottom-oriented fish. Because it can be fished with a slower rod lift or a faster conventional jigging style, the Ridgeback is a good choice when you want one jig that can cover different depths, current conditions, and species without constantly changing presentations. Each size is matched to the weight range needed for anything from lighter coastal jigging to deeper offshore applications. Hybrid jig design for slow pitch or faster jigging styles Angled head creates an erratic sideways darting action Controlled flutter on the fall with a fast sink rate Effective for pelagic and bottom-feeding species Available in multiple sizes for different depths and conditions Great for coastal, island, and offshore jigging applications

Field Notes

Fish the Ridgeback with a slow-pitch jigging cadence when you want it to hang, flutter, and then drop back into the strike zone. For reaction bites, work it faster with sharper rod lifts so it darts side-to-side and sinks quickly back down—especially around current and structure where bottom-oriented or pelagic fish are feeding.

Pros

  • Hybrid design works at both slow and fast jigging speeds
  • Erratic sideways kick on the lift plus controlled flutter on the fall
  • Fast sink helps get back into the strike zone quickly
  • Multiple sizes cover lighter coastal to deeper offshore applications

Cons

  • Requires jigging technique (rod lifts and cadence control) to realize the action
  • Exact performance depends on matching jig size to depth/current
