The shape and internal weights have been placed to get maximum action and that all important random “sidekick” action that drives the fish crazy. The materials and weight placement makes the Slidekick super easy to cast at 4.25oz, but there is no compromise on action, just better distance to get closer to the fish more often. The design incorporates a stainless-steel plate through the entire body for maximum strength, with a weighted lead plate bonded to the steel plate, positioned for maximum action and casting distance. Completed with a large welded solid ring on the front and a heavy-duty rear split ring attached to an ultra-sharp 4X BKK treble hook, the Slidekick is built to catch and keep catching! The Nomad Slidekick is an updated version of the classic Surface Iron design. Introducing Nomad Design's Slidekick, a surface iron jig designed for the SoCal market and aimed at attracting new anglers nationwide. Unlike traditional surface irons, these feature a diverse range of Nomad's popular colors. At 4.25 oz, they're heavier, making them easier to cast and allowing for a faster retrieve and wider water column coverage. Crafted from soft yet durable plastic with a steel core, they offer the durability of a thru-wire construction and easy casting. Pre-rigged with excellent treble hooks, they also have a rear split ring for easy hook replacement. With their unique patterns, we anticipate these lures will perform well, especially among local boat enthusiasts who enjoy surface iron fishing.
