When it comes to targeting high-speed predators like wahoo and tuna, having the right gear can make all the difference. Enter the Nomad DTX Minnow, a game-changing trolling lure designed by experienced anglers to deliver unmatched performance in offshore fishing. Known for its innovative design and ability to troll at high speeds, the DTX Minnow is a must-have for any serious angler chasing the ocean’s fastest and most elusive species.

The Science Behind the DTX Minnow

At the heart of the DTX Minnow’s effectiveness is its patented Autotune™ System, which ensures the lure runs true at speeds up to 12 knots. This feature allows anglers to cover more ground, increasing the chances of encountering wahoo and tuna in open water. The lure’s hydrodynamic design and internal weight system create an irresistible swimming action that mimics a fleeing baitfish, triggering aggressive strikes from predatory fish.

The DTX Minnow is available in a range of sizes and colors, with options tailored to specific fishing conditions and target species. Whether you’re trolling over deep ledges for wahoo or working offshore currents for tuna, this lure’s versatility and reliability make it a standout choice.

Our Setup for Maximum Effectiveness

To get the most out of the Nomad DTX Minnow, we’ve refined our trolling setup to ensure optimal performance and deeper dives. Our reels are spooled entirely with 100-pound braided line, which offers superior strength and minimal stretch for better hook sets. The thin diameter of braided line also reduces drag in the water, allowing the lure to dive deeper.

We pair the braided line with a 4-foot mono leader, which serves two purposes: it provides a bit of stretch to absorb the shock of aggressive strikes and offers a degree of stealth with its low visibility in the water. This combination not only enhances the DTX Minnow’s diving capabilities but also ensures a strong and reliable connection when battling hard-fighting fish.

Why Wahoo and Tuna Love the DTX Minnow

Wahoo and tuna are known for their speed, power, and sharp vision, making them challenging targets for any angler. The DTX Minnow’s unique design addresses these challenges head-on:

• High-Speed Trolling: The ability to troll at speeds up to 12 knots is a game-changer for targeting wahoo, which are known to strike at lightning speed. The faster you can troll, the more likely you are to entice these speedsters into biting.
• Deep Diving Action: Thanks to its hydrodynamic shape and Autotune™ System, the DTX Minnow can reach depths of 30+ feet, putting it right in the strike zone for both wahoo and tuna.
• Durability: Built to withstand the toughest conditions, the DTX Minnow features reinforced materials and heavy-duty hardware, making it capable of handling the powerful runs and sharp teeth of wahoo and tuna.
