Nomad Design Shikari 95 Bleeding Mullet

The Nomad Design Shikari 95 Bleeding Mullet is a premium fishing lure that is engineered for avid anglers looking to enhance their fishing experience. Designed to emulate the swimming action and appearance of a real fish, this jerkbait is particularly successful in inshore saltwater fishing scenarios.

The long casting capabilities of the Shikari 95 Bleeding Mullet make it a standout choice for those fishing expansive flats, estuaries, or targeting schooling fish that may be feeding at a distance. This feature is thanks to its advanced internal tungsten weight transfer system. Upon casting, the weight moves to the rear of the lure, increasing aerodynamics and allowing for greater distances to be reached. Then, as you start to retrieve, the weight shifts forwards to ensure the lure swims correctly with a balanced action.

Its versatility is evident in its multiple retrieval methods. When anglers use the twitching technique during retrieval, the Shikari exhibits an erratic, jerking action that mirrors a wounded baitfish – a proven trigger for predatory strikes. This behavior can often provoke an immediate and aggressive response from gamefish, causing them to bite when they might ignore more passive presentations.

Alternatively, when the Shikari is trolled behind a boat, its rolling motion mimics a calmly swimming baitfish, making it irresistible to larger predators. A standard retrieval will produce a consistent wiggling action, generating a visual cue for inshore predators that a delicious meal is within their reach.

Anglers targeting species such as Snook, Redfish, Striped Bass, and Seatrout have found the Shikari 95 Bleeding Mullet to be highly effective. The lifelike appearance of the Bleeding Mullet color pattern adds another layer of attraction, simulating an injured baitfish's distress signals both visually and through movement.
