Nomad Design DTX Minnow 200 Patented Autotune System-Distressed Baitfish Swimming Action, Hydrospeed Belly Eyelet, Fast Trolling, BKK Diablo 5X Singles 11/0 Hooks, 200 SNK 8, 40ft, Nuclear Coral Trout

I purchased three of the DTXs, two of the large 200 series, one of the medium 160 size. They all fish well out the box. I use them exclusively for trolling bluewater. Wahoo, Mahi and Yellowfin are the primary targets. Unlike some other folks, I've had no issues trolling them at speed. Kudos to Nomad for producing a lipped plug with this kind of power.The reason this is a three - rather than five - star review is solely because of the hooks. I've had pretty extensive communication with Nomad about their hook choice. The BKK inlines are of unquestionable quality. My problem is that they are effectively barbless. This is great for catch-and-release fishing. But when I'm trolling blue-water, I'm looking to bag some delicious fish, not just snap a catchy photo. I've hooked over 50 fish on the DTXs and landed only a handful. No other lure in my arsenal - even the in-line singles - have this kind of track record.Nomad have told me that they are "working to fix the barb issue," and I believe them. Once they do, this will be a five-star lure. Until then, it gets three stars from me.

Coming from a full time fisherman... This lure will get the bite.. but almost always comes off. I ran this brand new in a fishing tournament an 3 bites an none of them stuck ..those hooks suck. 2 stars. Also. This lure dives so hard its extremely hard to clear the line back to the boat...I wont buy another..

These lures are not very strong plastic. Both of mine shattered from Ahi bites the first day. DO NOT PURCHASE THROUGH AMAZON. The vendor will tell you to contact Nomad, and they don’t warranty anything sold on Amazon. If you must buy these, buy them direct or through an authorized seller off of Amazon or eBay.

Tried the larger DTX lure and caught a nice Wahoo within the first 20 minutes, but the lure would not troll correctly after that first fish and the boat owner is not going to allow the cockpit crew to troll a lure that is screwed up.

I love this nomad brand but this one broke after one hit. i am very disappointed for their price it should be durable

We were having a slow day trolling and put out the DTX and had a strike within five minutes. Lure went on to catch 2 Black Fin and 2 Wahoo. Not bad for first day in the water.

This lure is very phenomenal, well made and very strong. Love everything about it.

I can’t wait to try trolling these for yellowfin and Dorado… You can see and feel the quality of this fishing Lure.
