Description
The RIPTIDE “FATSO” 4-1/2” is a wider body version of the renowned Riptide design. It has been made as the ultimate surface “walk the dog” lure. It features an internal rattle and is perfectly balanced for long distance casting. When twitched and walked in a side-to-side action, the lure can flick 180°, from side-to-side, and can even be made to turn backwards on itself. It can be worked aggressively or can be worked in a very subtle and slow manner with just minor twitches of the rod tip and a subtle splash. However you work it, the Riptide 4-1/2” is a fish catching weapon.
Designed and tested in Australia by the Nomad Sportfishing Team, Nomad Design lures are not only super tough and durable, but also feature unique colours and most importantly unique and highly effective shapes and actions. Each lure has been designed for a specific purpose and has been balanced and tested to work perfectly with the chosen hooks. Every Nomad Design lure has been crafted by decades of experience on the water to be tougher, last longer and to catch big fish.

GORILLA THROUGH WIRE
This through wire system has the wire bend around a set of extra plastic supports internally, making the wire less likely to separate from the lure body, and ensuring ultimate strength. The through wire is also welded at both ends to ensure you never lose that big fish.
HD ABS SYSTEM
Normal plastic was simply not strong enough for our lures, so we designed a special formula of High Density ABS plastic, which is a white colour, and is ultimately stronger than other plastics used for lure production. These lures also feature a thicker wall construction, meaning ultimate strength and durability.
TRIPLE SHIELD PROTECTION
We ensure that the painting process and the quality of the finish on all lures is protected and likely to last longer by applying 3 final coats of a super tough clear resin to the outside of all lures. It provides additional colour depth and ensures that the finish on your lure will last longer.
DESIGNED IN AUSTRALIA
Crafted by Experience is something we live by and take very seriously. Every product is designed and tested in Australia, both on the water and at our R&D test tank facility to ensure it performs perfectly.
