Description

The Pat. Pending SLIPSTREAM 280 Flying Fish is a revolutionary heavy duty Hybrid lure that has been designed to perfectly mimic a flying fish in both appearance and action in the water. It is extremely versatile and can be cast, trolled, or fished from a kite, with a huge variety of rigging options to suit your specific style of fishing. The unique folding wing design allows the wings to fold back when cast for extra distance or when fighting big Tuna and Marlin for reduced drag through the water. Designed to be trolled up to 9kn , the through body rigging means it can be rigged like a conventional skirted lure to slide up the leader when fighting a fish, ensuring fish stay hooked. When kite fishing, the hook holder channel along the top of the body allows the hook to sit perfectly positioned but completely concealed, meaning the only thing the fish see from below is a completely natural looking flying fish skipping along the surface. Every predator in the ocean loves to eat flying fish , and the Nomad Design Slipstream 280 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.

Field Notes

Use this when fish are feeding on bait near the surface, especially around birds, bait schools, or open-water structure. It can be cast, trolled up to 9 knots, or fished from a kite, and the folding wings help it cast farther and reduce drag during the fight.

Pros

  • Highly realistic flying fish profile
  • Versatile for casting, trolling, and kite fishing
  • Folding wings improve casting distance and reduce drag
  • Through-body rigging helps keep fish hooked

Cons

  • Specialty lure with a higher price point
  • Best suited to anglers with trolling or kite-fishing setups
  • Large profile may be overkill for smaller inshore fish
