Nomad Design Ridgeback 20 LC 20g – Long Cast Lure with BKK Hooks

The Ridgeback 20 LC from Nomad Design redefines long‑cast lure action for coastal anglers. Its distinctive angled head creates an unpredictable sideways dart with each wind of the reel, helping the lure cut through chop and reach feeding zones that are often beyond reach. The weighted belly design provides balance, enabling easier distances from shore or boat and a stable retrieve that remains lively across a range of speeds. The result is a lure that feels confident in hand and delivers a presence in water that can attract curious predators.

Designed for action and durability

Under the skin, the Gorilla Through Wire runs through the body, bending around internal plastic supports for added strength and to reduce separation during tough fights. The ends are welded to secure the connection, so big fish won’t pull the wire free. The finish process includes Triple Shield Protection — three final coats of a super tough clear resin that deepens color and helps the finish resist wear from repeated casts, salt spray, and contact with structure.

• Long-distance casting from shore or boat thanks to the weighted belly and balanced profile.
• Erratic sideways action that stays lively even at slower retrieves.
• Through-wire construction with welded ends for increased strength and reliability.
• Triple Shield Protection adds color depth and wear resistance for lasting finish.
• Premium BKK hooks ensure confident hookups when the bite comes.

Real-world build and testing

Each Ridgeback 20 LC is designed and tested in Australia, blending decades of water experience with modern materials. The through-wire core and sturdy internal supports work together to maintain alignment during big pulls, while the finish withstands frequent casts and exposure to water contact. This combination creates a robust platform that is built to endure the demands of coastal fishing.

• Ready to fish out of the packet with reliable hardware.
• Ideal for both shore and boat scenarios where distance and action matter.

Tips to unlock performance

Cast toward likely feeding lanes and vary your retrieve to explore different actions. On calm days, a steady cadence may reveal the lure’s side-to-side dart; on windy days, the weighted belly helps you maintain distance and control. Remember, outcomes depend on conditions and technique, but Ridgeback 20 LC offers a versatile platform for a range of fishing styles.
