Nomad Design Ridgeback 20 LC 20g – Sardine Long Cast Lure

Nomad Design Ridgeback 20 LC 20g — Sardine Long Cast Lure

The Ridgeback 20 LC 20g is built for saltwater anglers who want to cover water efficiently without sacrificing action. Its signature angled head invites a distinctive sideways dart with every wind of the reel, while the carefully shaped weighted belly helps you reach distant ambush points where fish are feeding. It’s designed to be fished straight from the packet, with a balance of action and sturdiness that suits both shore and boat setups.

Key design features

• Angled head triggers an erratic, side-to-side dart
• Weighted belly promotes longer, more accurate casts
• Gorilla Through Wire incorporates internal plastic supports to reduce separation and boost strength
• Welded ends secure the through-wire during powerful fights
• Triple Shield Protection adds depth of color and a tougher finish for longevity

The finish and hardware are chosen with durability in mind. Three coats of a clear resin deepen color while protecting the exterior from salt spray and sun exposure. The lure comes equipped with Ultimate BKK hooks, offering a reliable hookset and confidence when a bite finally comes.

Designed and tested where it counts

Nomad Design leverages decades of water experience, with on-water testing in Australia to ensure the Ridgeback performs in real conditions. The combination of through-wire strength and high-quality BKK hardware reflects a commitment to durability and consistency across sessions, from calm flats to rougher inshore waters.

Where and how to fish

• Shoreline and surf zones: long casts help you reach feeding lanes beyond breaking waves
• Boat or jetty work: steady retrieves with occasional pauses invite the lure’s darting action
• Species versatility: adapt retrieve speed to match target fish and water clarity

Care and longevity tips: after saltwater use, rinse and dry the lure to preserve color and finish. Weighing roughly 0.11 pounds in a single-piece design, the Ridgeback is built for rugged use and repeated sessions. Use it as part of a versatile tackle setup to explore what’s feeding in your local waters.
