Nomad Design Maverick 90 Inshore Lure – Auto-Tune Suspending Jerkbait (Chartreuse Shad)

Overview

The Nomad Design Maverick 90 is built for inshore anglers who want control over their presentation. At 1-1/2 inches and 1/2 ounce, this compact suspending jerkbait is finished in a vivid Chartreuse Shad pattern for maximum visibility in varied saltwater environments. Its distinctive big water design and patent pending Auto Tune System work together to deliver precise, repeatable actions straight out of the tackle box, helping you focus on reading the water and adjusting your approach as conditions evolve.

What sets the Maverick 90 apart is its ability to adapt to a wide range of fishing scenarios. Whether you need a slow roll to entice finicky fish, a suspending pause to provoke a strike, or a surface walk to dip a lure just over structure, this lure can cover it. The combination of a broad body profile and responsive twitching gives you a spectrum of movements that resemble small baitfish in distress or cruising prey. This versatility is especially valuable when water clarity, current, or pressure change throughout the day.

Patented Auto Tune System

The Auto Tune System is a standout feature that helps maintain optimal setup as you cast and retrieve. By automatically adjusting to the water and line tension, it minimizes fiddling and maximizes presentation consistency. Anglers often rely on this system in fast-paced settings where time and accuracy matter, enabling steadier casts and more predictable performance.

• Auto Tune delivers consistent action with less manual tweaking
• Helps maintain the lure’s intended balance across retrieves
• Reduces setup time during multi-species sessions

Versatile Action for Real-World Situations

The Maverick 90 can be worked to match the mood of the water. Use it as a suspending jerkbait, slow roll to entice a longer wake, or walk it across the surface with controlled pauses. Its wide body roll when retrieved slowly and its erratic twitch with a splashy surface break create a lifelike presence that can draw attention from nearby predators.

• Suspending jerkbait with controlled pauses
• Slow rolled presentation to trigger reluctant biters
• Surface walking with occasional splash to mirror fleeing baitfish
• Distinct wide body roll for added realism at slow speeds

Real-World Use and Target Species

Designed with inshore and coastal anglers in mind, this lure aims to engage species like snook, striped bass, redfish, tarpon, and seatrout. Its high-visibility color and dynamic action help attract attention in both clear and stained water, while the compact size and balanced weight allow confident casting in tight spots or over deeper channels. The lure’s design emphasizes practical, boat-side confidence rather than exaggerated promises, offering you a range of techniques to try as conditions shift.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Maverick 90

Experiment with retrieval speed, pauses, and twitch timing to discover what triggers bites on a given day. Start with a steady cadence to establish the lure’s baseline movement, then introduce quick twitches; add surface pops when fish are actively feeding near the surface. The Chartreuse Shad finish helps with visibility in deeper or murkier water, making it easier to track the lure’s path under sunlight or over low light conditions.
