Q:

What colors work best for tuna and mahi?

Answer: I'm not sure if you can see the color that I got its a pink one and I caught a 25 lb yellowfin tuna my first time out with it

Answer: I believe all the colors are good, just depends on the conditions, water, cloud cover ect.

Answer: Pinks and blues work best out here but I like in the middle of the pacific.

Answer: Sardine is the best

Answer: No idea.

Q:

Are these gen 2?

Answer: Yes they are

Q:

Does it come with the hooks ?

Answer: Yes all nomad designs lures comes with hooks

Answer: Yes it comes with hooks

Answer: Yes . Two single hooks

Answer: Yes

Q:

How fast can you troll the 8" sinking dtx?

Answer: It preforms best around 8-10 kts

Q:

How deep does it dive while trolling

Q:

Is this the Gen 2?

Answer: YES. All Nomad DTX minnows sold at Striker Tackle are GEN 2.

Q:

Is it made in China? It should say on the box

Answer: yep

Q:

I am interested in buying several dtx minnow 200mm lures, but first i want to know if the order can be sent to me together in a single box

Q:

What size is this lure

Answer: About eight inches. It’s the 200.

Answer: 200 mm

Q:

how far back in the spread do you pull them?

Answer: Port side short about 50-75 yrd range. Kings and hoos can’t get enough of them. They dive so deep you don’t need plainers or downriggers.

Answer: I like to troll the DTX close to the transom,maybe 50-70 feet back. That way it’s running under the white water.

Answer: I run them short and long. Great Ono lure.

Answer: Anywhere between 30-50 yards back usually works great for me.

Q:

Where is this made?

Answer: Never looked and don't care. They pull real nice offshore at 6 to 7 knots and I've caught some ice Tuna, Wahoo and Mahi on them.

Reba : Fishing

Very durable, workmanship was excellent. Very Happy with product.

Anthony Martinez : Good product

Liked for fishing

Amazon Customer : Winner

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.

L. Swanson : A Wahoo Slayer

Outstanding! preforms extremely well with Wahoo.
We are a professional charter group and this Nomad series produces!

DM : One fish lure then it trash

Brand new Broke on first strike on 7 lb kingfish

Travis : I can’t wait to see if they work

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

Amazon Customer : Good for one fish

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.

B.C : Good

Good

bryan hiura : You need this lure

Amazing lure! From the first trip to the most recent, this lure has picked up fish everytime.

Rob : Beautiful Lure; Barbless Hooks

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.

Amazon Customer : Bites, comes off. Your welcome...

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..

Mason : Badass lures!!!! Buy it!

Tchubacca : Great lure until you catch something

I bought this lure by recommendation of a friend of mine as I’ve never trolled before in my life. Went online to find the best way to rig the lure and tried it out.
First time I used it I hooked up on a gag grouper (weird situation made this happen).
Second time I used it I caught a bonita. That’s when it all went bad.
No matter what I’ve done or different riggings I’ve tried, this minnow will not stay in the water. There’s no physical damage I can see but as soon as I start trolling no matter how far back or close to the boat I am it’s spins around and pops out of the water. After reading reviews here I’m finding that I’m not the only one.
If it didn’t cost me $35 I would just buy more but I’m a recreational fisherman I can’t afford to buy a lure per fish.
If someone has an idea of how to fix the situation please let everyone know. Online is not producing any results.
