Nomad Design Ridgeback 80 LC 80g – Long Cast Casting Metal Lure

Ridgeback 80 LC: Long-Range Casting with a Distinctive Action

The Ridgeback 80 LC introduces a distinctive casting-metal action designed to deliver an erratic, side-to-side darting motion with each turn of the reel. A thoughtfully angled head works with a weighted midsection to help you cover more water and reach feeding grounds from shore or on a boat.

Every Nomad Design lure draws from years of water experience, engineered to endure demanding conditions, stand up to repeated use, and remain responsive day after day. The Ridgeback 80 LC embodies that philosophy with a profile tuned for distance, depth, and a lively swim.
