Description

The SHIKARI is a long casting, suspending, shallow diving jerkbait boasting an internal moving tungsten weight transfer system designed to perfectly balance the lure. The internal weight rolls back to the tail when casting to maximise distance, and then rolls forward when being retrieved to perfectly balance the lure and keep it level when suspending. The Shikari can be twitched hard on the retrieve to produce an erratic action where the lure will turn 180° back on itself in a classic strike trigger action. The suspending Shikari 3-3/4" with its small profile will sit perfectly still for a cold water bite, yet has action for when the water warms up and fish start chasing. Species from Bass, to Walleye, to Crappie, or anything that swims in freshwater will all be unable to resist the small profile. The weight transfer system that will help you get a few extra yards further than most jerkbaits is just the cherry on the top. If you are addicted to the savage jerkbait bite, the Shikari will satisfy even the most experienced jerkbait fisherman. Outfitted with super sharp BKK Spear hooks, HD ABS System and Triple Shield Protection in some of the best colors. Every Nomad Design lure has been crafted by decades of experience on the water to be tougher, last longer and to catch more 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.

Field Notes

A suspending jerkbait is best worked with sharp twitches and pauses over shallow flats, points, or other areas where fish are feeding on bait. The lure’s suspend-and-hang action makes it especially effective in colder water or whenever fish want a slower presentation.

Pros

  • Suspending action holds in the strike zone on pauses
  • Long-casting tungsten weight transfer system
  • Erratic 180° turn triggers reaction strikes

Cons

  • Small profile may not appeal to larger forage-focused fish
  • Requires a twitch-and-pause retrieve to fish effectively
