Nomad Design Buffalo 80g Flash Fall Slow Pitch Jig – Crimson Tide

Buffalo 80g Flash Fall Slow Pitch Jig by Nomad Design

Designed for deep-water days, the Buffalo jig uses a weighted flash fall to widen the strike zone. The fluttering descent combined with glow-painted finishes creates a visible silhouette in blue depths, potentially drawing attention from tuna, reef species, and other deep-water targets. Results vary with water clarity and current, but the design aims to offer more opportunities per cast.

Dynamic action that draws in curious fish

The long rod stroke ends with a deliberate flick, generating a kicking motion that helps the lure travel outward and flash as it sinks. As it drops, it kicks out sideways and presents a lively, bait-like appearance that mimics fleeing prey and triggers interest from cautious feeders.

• Flutter fall expands the strike zone for more opportunities
• Sideways kick and glow paint boost attraction in depth
• Weighted flash fall with a slow, centre-balanced descent helps keep the lure in the strike zone

Hookup potential in tough conditions

Rigged with a BKK assist hook on the tail, the jig is designed to improve hookup chances during longer drifts in challenging water. The centre-balanced design promotes a controlled, slow fall that supports sustained attention from targeting fish.

• Improved hookup rate in challenging conditions
• Reliable performance with larger targets and reef species

Practical notes from real use: expect better visibility when light fades or currents shift. The Crimson Tide colorway combines visibility with a stealthy profile, making it versatile on blue-water days and along reef edges alike.

Tips for fishing it: pair with a sturdy jigging rod and braided line around 60–80 lb, add a fluorocarbon leader, and vary cadence with pauses to let the jig sink through deeper zones. Cast, drop, and drift to cover more water and locate active fish, then adjust to currents and depth for best results.
