Description

Nomad DTX Sinking 165 — the ultimate bluewater trolling minnow engineered for serious offshore anglers. This 6-1/2" lure features Patented Nomad Autotune™ technology, Gorilla Through Wire construction, and Hydrospeed advanced design for unmatched durability and performance. The distinctive body shape mimics distressed baitfish, triggering aggressive strikes from Tuna, Wahoo, Mackerel, and Mahi Mahi. The concealed Hydrospeed belly eyelet enables faster trolling speeds than conventional tow points, while the Auto-tune™ tow point and bib system keep the lure running deep, straight, and true—cast after cast, bite after bite. Troll confidently at speeds up to 12 knots and reach depths of 30 feet at 6-8 knots with proper rigging. Designed and tested in Australian waters by the Nomad Sportfishing Team, this lure combines decades of on-water expertise with super-tough construction and proven fish-catching action. Built to last, built to perform, built to catch big fish.
