Product Review – Nomad Design Slipstream 140 Flying Fish
With the wahoo, mahi, and tuna bite heating up off the coast of North Carolina, it is essential to add the Nomad Design Slipstream 140 Flying Fish to your arsenal. This new lure from Nomad Design was made to mimic the appearance and action of a flying fish, the wings and tails allowing for the sporadic cutting motions that entice almost all species offshore.
The lure is currently being offered at 5 1/2”, 8”, and 11” in size, and 1 3/4 oz., 5 oz., and 13 oz. in weight. This heavy-duty lure was designed to be used in a number of applications, whether that be kite fishing, traditional trolling, or even casting, and to help anglers be successful, there are also eight different colorways available to choose from.
Nomad Design created the lure with unique wings that fold back when casting to offer an advantage when it comes to dropping the lure right on the nose of a big tuna or mahi. The wings and tails are replaceable as well to allow for the customization of the perfect color combination.
Body rigging on the lure allows the flying fish to be rigged as a conventional skirted lure, therefore giving the lure the ability to move up on the leader when battling a fish. To be used during kite fishing applications, the lure was created with a hook holding channel, thus allowing the hooks to sit just right to stay concealed yet offer optimal bite placement.
Nomad truly covered every base when it came to designing this amazingly realistic, multi-use lure. Every predator fish in the ocean loves to eat flying fish, and the design of this lure should entice bites all season long.
Starting at just $39.99, you can view various models, designs, and replacement wing sets online at www.nomadtackle.com.
