Description

The SLIDEKICK is an updated version of the classic Surface Iron design. The shape and internal weights have been placed to get maximum action and that all important random “sidekick” action that drives the fish crazy. The materials and weight placement makes the Slidekick super easy to cast at 4-1/4oz, but there is no compromise on action, just better distance to get closer to the fish more often. Designed with materials that allow super lifelike finishes and the natural baitfish appeal that makes fish bite, the Slidekick is a must have casting bait. The design incorporates a stainless-steel plate through the entire body for maximum strength, with a weighted lead plate bonded to the steel plate, positioned for maximum action and casting distance. The outer body is made of super tough and durable “soft touch” PVC moulded around the stainless-steel plate. Most of the paint is applied to the inside of the stainless plate, meaning the finish will last. Completed with a large welded solid ring on the front and a heavy-duty rear split ring attached to an ultra-sharp BKK treble hook, the Slidekick is built to catch and keep catching!

Field Notes

Use as a casting bait over inshore flats, channels, and bait schools when fish are feeding on baitfish. The weighted body and surface-iron design are meant for long casts and an erratic side-to-side action that can trigger reaction strikes.

Pros

  • Long casting distance for reaching wary fish
  • Durable construction with stainless-steel plate and tough PVC body
  • Random sidekick action can draw aggressive strikes

Cons

  • Single-purpose lure that works best when fish are actively feeding
  • Heavier profile may be less ideal in very shallow water or tight cover

Nomad slide kick This is my first surface iron and I’m trying to figure out my retrieves. So far a fast skip on the water, or a slow retrieve with a twitch has worked for me. First day of using it after my 10th cast and I landed a guesstimate 12lb. Blue trevaly. Very durable, hooks are strong and no signs of rust. I will always have a sidekick in my backpack.
