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

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..

Amazon Customer : Expensive Chinese crap. Good hooks

These lures are VERY poorly made I destroyed 3 dtx minnows catching 5 wahoo. Terrible for $35 dollar lures

joseph hajduk : Broke on first hook up

Used once and broke on the first hook up

Carlos C. Contreras : very effective

Excellent for high speed trolling

Jeana Graybill : One fish lure that gets bit

I have hooked 2 fish on this lure .1st fish was a white marlin open wahoo class winner, 2nd fish 160# big eye tuna.the lure gets bites but in both instances the lure would not swim right afterwards and had to be replaced.Its a one fish lure in my experience. I will continue to use them but I would love to see the durability improve

smarei : Does not track straight

Lure did not track straight at all. It kept swimming sideways & jumping out at any trolling speed (was doing 3-5 knots)

Tried all kinds of swivels and snaps and even direct tie with no difference.

Quiet disappointed

Anthony Martinez : Good product

Liked for fishing

Aliviah : amazing product! you should buy it

it’s a great product my dad loves it!

Mason : Badass lures!!!! Buy it!

DM : One fish lure then it trash

Brand new Broke on first strike on 7 lb kingfish

Jay : Caught a fish the 1st time i used it..

Swam great..

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.

Thomas Dyches : Digs deep with perfect action

Pricey, but works as advertised. I use it primarily for wahoo fishing in the Florida Keys.

Ricardo Hardouin : Great item

The item was in perfect conditions.

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.

robert brodsky : Great lure

Great lure. Already caught many fish with it.

Keith Golden : Worth every penny.

Hope the fish like it as much as i do..
