Nomad Design DTX Minnow 220mm Heavy Duty – Ultimate Deep-Diving Trolling Minnow
The DTX Minnow 220mm Heavy Duty sets a new benchmark in bluewater trolling lures, engineered for high-speed performance and brutal predatory strikes. Whether you're targeting Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, or monster Mackerel, this lure is built to dominate offshore conditions with unmatched depth, speed, and resilience.
This powerhouse minnow incorporates Nomad’s Patented Autotune™ System, allowing the lure to automatically center itself for a perfect swim every time—no matter the trolling speed. Capable of running straight and true at speeds over 12 knots, the DTX 220mm reaches depths beyond 50ft+ when trolled at 8–10 knots with 80–100 yards of line out.
Key Features:
-
Autotune™ Self-Centering Towpoint: Ensures consistent deep diving action and a perfectly tuned swim straight out of the box. It adapts in real-time to stay true at high speeds, helping you catch more fish.
-
Hydrospeed Belly Eyelet: A concealed, hydrodynamic towpoint that reduces drag and boosts speed capabilities while optimizing hook-up ratios with single hooks.
-
Matrix Metal Plate System: A full stainless steel internal frame, fused into the body for extreme strength and durability when battling large pelagics.
-
Diamond Armour Construction: Reinforced internal diamond mesh grid structure within a clear ABS body to resist cracking, crushing, or splitting under pressure.
-
Aggressive Distressed Swim Action: Custom body shape creates a wounded baitfish motion to trigger aggressive predatory strikes.
-
Built Tough: Rigged with premium BKK Diablo 5X 13/0 single hooks, ready to take on the harshest conditions and the strongest fish straight from the box.
