Description

The RIPTIDE 6” Sinking stickbait is an ideal casting lure for Yellowtail, Tuna, Kingfish and Stripers. It has been designed to be worked in a variety of retrieval styles and also shimmies on the drop mimicking a wounded baitfish. The placement of the internal weights also means that when twitched in a “walk the dog" style retrieve, it has an incredible side-to-side action, turning nearly 180 ° when twitched. It can be fished fast or slow, in rough or calm water and is a hugely versatile lure. Designed and tested in Australia by the Nomad Sportfishing Team, 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. WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including Lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
