Nomad Design DTX Minnow 8” Heavy Duty – High-Performance Bluewater Trolling Lure
The DTX Minnow 8” Heavy Duty from Nomad Design is a revolutionary trolling minnow engineered for serious anglers targeting pelagic predators in deep offshore waters. Featuring advanced technologies such as the Patented Autotune™ System, Metal Matrix Plate System, Diamond Armour internal strength system, and Hydrospeed belly eyelet, the DTX Heavy Duty series offers unmatched durability, precision, and high-speed trolling performance.
Capable of being trolled at over 12 knots, the DTX 8” Minnow reaches depths of 40+ ft when trolled at 8–10 knots, covering 80–100 yards of trolling spread. Its unique body shape generates a distressed baitfish swimming action, while the concealed Hydrospeed belly eyelet allows for faster trolling speeds than traditional tow points. Combined with the Autotune™ self-tuning towpoint, this lure swims deep, straight, and true, every time, making it a reliable tool for offshore and bluewater fishing.
Designed for hard-hitting predators like Tuna, Wahoo, Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, and other pelagic gamefish, the DTX Minnow 8” Heavy Duty is super tough, durable, and built to last. Tested and perfected in Australia by the Nomad Design Team, each lure is precision-balanced, color-optimized, and engineered for maximum strikes and long-term reliability. With decades of charter and offshore experience behind every design, the DTX Minnow 8” Heavy Duty is a must-have for serious anglers targeting big offshore fish.
