Nomad Design Squidtrex Vibrating Lure – 190mm, Scented TPE Soft Plastic with BKK Hooks

Meet Nomad Design Squidtrex Phantom Vibrating Lure

The Squidtrex Phantom is a patented saltwater lure designed for offshore and reef environments. Sized at 190 mm (7 1/2 inches) and weighing 14 oz, it pairs a squid-shaped soft plastic body with a pulsating vibration to draw big fish from deep water up to 800 feet.

Thanks to a scent-added formulation, this lure aims to trigger bites by combining olfactory cues with dynamic movement. The Phantom color option helps it stand out in varied light and water conditions.

Key features that matter on the slick and surge

• Vibrating, squid-shaped soft plastic provides a unique pulsating action that entices strikes when trolled or jigged.
• Ultra-tough TPE material with through-wire construction; paired with a single extra-strong BKK assist hook for durability.
• Optimised for both fast and slow vertical jigging and even dead sticking in a rod holder, giving you flexible techniques.
• Effective at offshore depths up to 800 feet, targeting bigger, more aggressive species.
• Specifically known for attracting bluefin and yellowfin tuna, amberjack, grouper, and halibut in saltwater settings.

How to fish it: practical tips

• For jigging: alternate fast and slow motions to provoke the wobble, and experiment with stick-and-pause pauses.
• For trolling: run at medium to high speeds to maximize the lure's wobble while maintaining depth control.
• Rod-holder dead sticks: drop in, let the lure work its vibration, and monitor line for subtle bites.

Durability and design come together to support long days on the water. The strong through-wire system and BKK assist hook help you keep up with strong fighters, while the scent-added formula adds another dimension of attraction.
