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?
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?
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
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
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...

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

how much main line should you let out to achieve the 40 ft depth on the dtx 200?
I assume this would be the recommended way for the 190FS madscad also?

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

What hooks did you use ?
I hope to make review video for this lure at my channel soon 💙
Why does Nomad not sell their lures with an inline hooks instead of treble hooks? Does Nomad have an recommended inline hook replacement chart?
What kind of crimp pliers are those?
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...
Please change to a hook with a better barb on it. I love the DTX 220 LRS for Wahoo and Tuna!!
You should start marketing these to muskie fishermen in the U.S. and Canada
I would put a solid ring on, cable can slip in split ring.
this is minow for trolling can how many years old senior greetings coming from Indonesia healthy greetings and greetings from a hobby

Watch it again.
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?
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

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.
