The Nomad Design Shikari is a jerkbait designed for long casting and shallow diving. It features an internal tungsten weight transfer system that enhances its performance. When casting, the internal weight slides backward into the tail, allowing for maximum distance. During retrieval, the weight rolls forward to maintain balance and keep the lure level.
The Shikari is highly effective when twitched forcefully on the retrieve. This action creates an erratic movement, causing the lure to turn 180 degrees and provoking aggressive strikes from inshore gamefish. It can also be trolled with a noticeable body roll. When retrieved, it produces a wiggling motion from nose to tail, which makes it highly enticing for all types of predators.
This lure is particularly suitable for targeting inshore saltwater species such as Snook, Redfish, Striped Bass, Seatrout, and many others. Its design and performance make it a versatile and effective choice for anglers seeking to catch these types of fish.
