I rigged a couple of 200mm DTX’s with multistrand cable. If using a reel spooled with braid as my main line should I use a mono shock leader in between?
3 questions (1) How long should be the cable wire for either165 or 200 ? 2ft (2) should it be mono (single) cord or multi cord and what should it’s breaking strength ? (3) What should be the minimum breaking strength of the braided line? How long (what length) should you run the line to get the maximum depth and at what speed ? Thank you I just got down 10 Nomad DTX I am an angler from Sri Lanka
Any reason not to do a barrel swivel to the split ring and then crimp, so you can swap your leaders in an out from steel to Mono, Flouro etc. with the barrel and not worry about the split ring grabbing the leader. Also easier to swap them from lure to lure?
The dtx gets bites but after 1 fish you can through it away, it pull side ways and jumps out of water I've saw this happen on a lot of the dtx lures, it only takes a hit from a barracuda and its done, I would stick with the mad Mac and put a big treble hook on the belly helps out big time with hook up ratio
Could the 220 DTX be a nice setup for big Halibuts in Northern Norway? Only troll up to 3 knots here. The lure looks amazing and i had a lot of success with pink jigs in the same range of size.
3kn might be a bit slow as they are designed for higher speeds. I'd recommend checking out the larger sizes in the Squidtrex vibes which can be jigged and trolled
I have never seen anyone tying a uni knot like this. Almost looks like a San Diego jam knot because he is not doing the wraps through a loop held open, but around the doubled line, and then through the loop in the end. Also I thought the Uni is wrapped away from the lure, not towards the lure.
I have had the same problem with decreased landing rates as the barbs on the BKK hooks are almost like trolling with barbless hooks. I think Nomad has switched to a heavier barb this year but that does not help the unfortunate customers with older models. I have tried to contact Nomad for replacement hooks with no reply.
William Rike I have been switching them out to the Mustad Kaiju. I did receive a response from Nomad and they basically told me if I didn’t like the hooks to switch them out. Really disappointed considering the high prices of these lures that they could not pick better hook.
This lure os scam... i try everything imaginable and troll this and all the time stay in the top of the water no matter what speed u go skiing... don't waste ir money in this scam...

how much main line should you let out to achieve the 40 ft depth on the dtx 200?

Can you please tell me what the extra loop at the bottom is for might be a stupid question but it doesnt mention it anywhere what it does.?? Cheers
to add an additional hook ...

When i use the DTX165/30 at 9kt speed the Accurate 600 can't hold the line. what can i do ?
Why does Nomad not sell their lures with an inline hooks instead of treble hooks? Does Nomad have an recommended inline hook replacement chart?
I used single strand to the tow point with no split ring and it doesn’t swim right, will adding the split ring fix that? Thanks
I hope to make review video for this lure at my channel soon 💙
What kind of crimp pliers are those?
Please change to a hook with a better barb on it. I love the DTX 220 LRS for Wahoo and Tuna!!
I would put a solid ring on, cable can slip in split ring.
I assume this would be the recommended way for the 190FS madscad also?
And you do tie to the ring. I've been told to troll both with and without it. Seems it would have much better action with the ring...
this is minow for trolling can how many years old senior greetings coming from Indonesia healthy greetings and greetings from a hobby
What hooks did you use ?
You should start marketing these to muskie fishermen in the U.S. and Canada

Watch it again.
Why do you have practically no barb on those hooks? Ive lost so many strikes on these things.....great lures but crappy hooks in my book...

East Cape Guides Sportfishing I switch the BKKs with VMC inline 4x singles on all my minnows and they have a significantly larger barb

@@eastcapeguides The Barb is still too small 05/01/2022
A welded ring would be better so the wire doesn't slip through the split ring.
how would you get a solid ring onto the lure?
how much .... DTX 200
pls... rply

My dtx dives deep perfectly and easily, not sure what your doing incorrectly?
My DTX (160, 200, 220) all perform flawlessly and catch lots of pelagics. Best lures ever made.
You don't know what you are doing.
