Description

The Nomad Design Live Ops Wingman Jerk Shad brings a new level of realism and refined action to the world of soft plastic jerkbaits. At 4.5 inches, this bait is perfectly sized to mimic a wounded baitfish, and its unique material composition gives it a perfectly balanced, erratic darting action with each twitch of the rod tip. Whether youre fishing clear lakes for finicky smallmouth or probing murky backwaters for largemouth, the Wingman is designed to get noticed and get eaten.

Live Ops Tech for True-To-Life Presentation

Crafted using Nomads exclusive Live Ops multi-layered manufacturing process, the Wingman features an internal mesh core wrapped in a lifelike soft plastic body. This design delivers the ideal combination of softness for action and toughness for longevity, giving you a bait that not only moves like the real thing but can also hold up to multiple bites without tearing apart. The natural translucency and detail in each color pattern help trigger aggressive strikes, even from pressured fish.

Versatile Rigging for Maximum Effectiveness

This jerk shad excels whether its rigged weightless, on a jighead, or as part of a dropshot or underspin setup. Its neutral buoyancy and gliding action make it perfect for working through the water column, allowing anglers to fish it shallow or deep with subtlety and precision. From fast twitch-pause retrieves to slow, methodical presentations, the Wingman adapts effortlessly to changing conditions and target behavior.

Ideal for Predator Response Fishing

The Wingman was created with reaction strikes in mind. Its ability to dart, glide, and pause in unpredictable ways makes it a powerful trigger for bass, walleye, and even inshore saltwater predators that react to erratic movement. It thrives around cover, drop-offs, and schooling bait, making it an excellent go-to when fish are following but not committing to more aggressive presentations.

A Jerkbait That Fishes Smart and Strikes Hard

For anglers looking to bring the cutting edge of soft plastic innovation to their freshwater arsenal, the Nomad Design Live Ops Wingman Jerk Shad offers a smartly built, highly effective tool. With its combination of durability, detail, and dynamic action, its a bait that delivers results when precision matters most.
