NOMAD DESIGN Saltwater Trolling Sinking Lure DTX MINNOW 125S
The DTX MINNOW 125 is a revolution in trolling minnows, featuring Patented Nomad Autotune, Gorilla Through Wire and Hydrospeed advanced design technology the DTX Minnow is in a class of its own.
The DTX Minnow 125 will reach a depth of 20ft when trolled at 2-9 knots. This small and super tough lure is deal for predatory fish like Tuna, Mackerel and Mahi Mahi and will be your first choice in bluewater trolling lures. It is designed to be a small tough lure that runs fast and can be put in your standard trolling spread to imitate a smaller baitfish.
The unique body shape design creates a distressed baitfish swimming action, and the concealed Hydrospeed belly eyelet allows for faster trolling speeds than conventional tow points. Combined with the Nomad designed Autotune tow point and bib system, the lure just keeps swimming deep, straight, and true, first time every time.
Designed and tested in Australia by the Nomad Sportfishing team, Nomad Design lures are super tough and durable, feature unique colours and are designed to have highly effective shapes and actions.
Every Nomad Design lure has been crafted by decades of experience on the water to be tougher, last longer and to catch more fish.
TECHNOLOGY
HD ABS SYSTEM
Normal plastic was simply not strong enough for our lures, so we designed a special formula of High Density ABS plastic, which is a white colour, and is ultimately stronger than any other plastic used for lure production. These lures feature a thicker wall construction, meaning ultimate strength and durability.
AUTOTUNE BIB SYSTEM
The Autotune Bib system allows the lure to self tune, and adjust to changes in the lure shape from fish hitting it, or other problems that often cause lures to need tuning in order to swim straight. The flexible and moveable towpoint means that the lure is always trolled from the perfect centre line of the lure, meaning perfect balance and straight swimming always. There is no longer a need to be tweaking the tow point and bending eyelets sideways and testing the lure to make it swim, just deploy and start catching fish!
HYDROSPEED BELLY EYELET
The unique Hydropseed belly eyelet has been hydrodynamically tested and designed designed to allow maximum trolling speed, and also provide the optimum hookup ratio when using single hooks in large trolling lures. The concealed towpoint allows the lure to be trolled much faster than a conventional lure with an exposed belly eyelet. The additional trolling speed and increased hookup rate make the DTX minnow with Hydrospeed technology a must have trolling lure for any bluewater application.
DIAMOND ARMOR
This is a special internal design process we have implemented for use with clear ABS plastic bodies, where we want colours that are see through, or where using the HD ABS plastic is not required. The internal diamond mesh grid pattern creates an internal framework to strengthen the body of the lure, making it far less likely to be crushed or cracked by large predators. The internal Diamond grid pattern ensure ultimate strength in all applications.
GORILLA TROUGH WIRE
This through wire system has the wire bend around a set of extra plastic supports internally, making the wire less likely to separate from the lure body, and ensuring ultimate strength. The Through wire is also welded at both ends to ensure you never lose that big fish.
BKK Hooks
All Nomad Design Lures come rigged with high quality BKK hooks, and super heavy duty split rings. The hooks are perfectly matched to the lure so they swim with the perfect action straight out of the box.
