Nomad Design Slidekick Surface Iron 120g – Sidekick Action for Spanish Mackerel

Meet the Slidekick: Updated Surface Iron with Sidekick Action

The Nomad Design Slidekick Surface Iron 120g updates the classic profile with smarter weight placement and a signature random sidekick motion. Weighing 4.25 oz, it balances easy casting with lively action, helping you reach more water and increase your chances during a long day on the water.

Key design highlights

• The shape and internal weights deliver broad, lifelike action and that distinct sidekick bounce that can grab a fish’s attention at the surface.
• Weight distribution supports longer, more controllable casts without sacrificing action, letting you cover water more efficiently.
• A stainless steel plate runs through the entire body for maximum strength, with a bonded weighted lead plate positioned to optimize action and casting distance.
• Front welded ring and a heavy-duty rear split ring connect to an ultra-sharp 4X BKK treble hook for reliable hookups.
• The outer shell uses a tough soft-touch PVC over the steel core, with most paint applied on the plate interior to preserve the finish.

Real-world use and benefits

Imagine casting along a shoreline where Spanish mackerel patrol the surface, then pulling the Slidekick through the water for a splashy, erratic follow-up that mimics fleeing baitfish. The design aims to help you reach feeding zones and provoke a strike under a variety of surface conditions.

• Long casts and accurate retrieves in breezy or choppy water to maximize water coverage.
• Effective when fishing near structure or breaklines where fish hold just beneath the surface or along the edge.
• Versatile performance across conditions, with action designed to attract attention without overtaxing your setup or stamina.

Care and longevity

Durable construction combines a stainless plate, bonded lead, and a robust outer shell to withstand repeated casts and light scrapes, helping the palette of finishes stay intact game after game.
