Nomad Design Ridgeback 40 LC 40g – Gold Buster | Long Cast Lure with Through-Wire & BKK Hooks

Overview

Discover the Nomad Design Ridgeback 40 LC Gold Buster, a purpose-built long casting lure designed to reach feeding zones with confidence. Its unique Ridgeback shape and angled head create a distinct sideways darting action with each wind of the reel. The balanced profile and buoyant feel give you a sense of the lure’s presence as you wind through the water, inviting a closer look from curious fish.

With a weighted belly, this lure is optimized for distance casting from shore or boat, helping you cover water efficiently and increase your opportunities to encounter active fish. It arrives in ready-to-fish condition, fitted with Ultimate BKK hooks so you can start testing performance right away.

Design and Action

The Ridgeback’s through wire system snakes the wire around internal plastic supports, reducing the risk of separation and increasing overall strength when a big fish engages. The through wire is welded at both ends to help hold the body under pressure, delivering dependable durability during side-beat retrieves and hard runs.

• Angled head design for erratic sideways darting
• Weighted belly for easy distance casting
• Through-wire construction for maximum durability
• Welded ends to withstand strong pulls from large fish
• Triple shield protection with three coats of clear resin for color depth and wear resistance

Finish and Craft

Each Nomad lure benefits from careful finish work. The Gold Buster hue provides visibility in various light conditions, while the triple resin coats add depth and gloss. This finish starts with color precision and ends with a durable exterior that stands up to water exposure.

Practical Use and Benefits

Whether you are casting from a boat or walking a shoreline, the Ridgeback 40 LC is designed to help you reach productive zones quickly. The combination of action, castability, and strength offers flexible options for patterning and timing during a session. While fishing results depend on many factors, the lure is designed to be a reliable option to try when conditions look promising.

Key considerations for setup:

• Pair with a sturdy rod and appropriate line to maximize distance
