Questions about Nomad Design DTX Minnow Floating Lure

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.

Are these gen 2?

Answer: Yes they are

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

How fast can you troll the 8" sinking dtx?

Answer: It preforms best around 8-10 kts

How deep does it dive while trolling

Is this the Gen 2?

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

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

Answer: yep

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

What size is this lure

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

Answer: 200 mm

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.

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.

Product reviews of Nomad Design DTX Minnow Floating Lure

Robert M. : Great lure!

I love these lures! This was my fourth one. Dynamite in Cabo, especially for grouper!

walter carter : Send it!

It's beautiful can't wait to get it in the water.

Thomas : Best lure i own

Every one runs right every time

Anthony : Look great!

Looks like a lotof fun gonna be happening!!
Seems quality built, excited to run em soon!

Christian : Works well for wahoo

Have lost many of them to aggressive wahoo they get bites

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.

Carlos C. Contreras : very effective

Excellent for high speed trolling

Aliviah : amazing product! you should buy it

it’s a great product my dad loves it!

Carlos C. Contreras : very effective

Excellent for high speed trolling

Jimmy Oates : A Killer for Wahoo

Troller this lure at 7 knots with three other lures in the water. Always got bit first and hung on until the fish hit the deck. Watch the Wahoo!

vince acero : Great service

Perfect

Bill : Good stuff

As advertised

Carlos C. Contreras : very effective

Excellent for high speed trolling

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.

Alan Sepulvida : Nomad Lures

Nice product, quick shipping

Amazon Customer : Ready to use.

Looking forward to using it! Nomads are always a go to in the spread.

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.

Reba : Fishing

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

Bryce T : Disappointing

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

maloney b. alfons : Awesome product. Totally recommend.
