The riptide range features the exclusive Nomad Design Matrix Metal Plate, HD-ABS, Gorilla through Wire and HD Foam systems on models throughout the range. The floating version has the perfect balance required to achieve that dynamic, strike inducing โSโ shaped swimming motion. A long sweep of the rod tip makes the head duck under with a splash, then as the water flows over the lures body a seductive body roll and โSโ wave action is imparted sub-surface. The sinking variety has the internal weights placed to maximize casting but also to allow the lure to be retrieved with a sub-surface walk the dog action, which sees the lure able to turn nearly 180 degrees when retrieved slowly with a walk the dog โtwitchingโ rod tip action - see video links above for details on how to use.
