Nomad Design The Gypsy 300g Back Slide Jig – Chartreuse White Glow, Teardrop Shape with BKK Hooks

Overview

The Gypsy from Nomad Design is a back slide jig crafted to respond to changing currents and varying depths. Weighing 300 g (10.5 oz) and finished in a chartreuse white glow, it catches the eye as it moves through the water, inviting closer observation from a range of fish. This lure blends a timeless teardrop silhouette with modern components to offer a versatile tool that can adapt to different speed and depth scenarios without swapping rigs.

Designed for real-world scenarios—whether near structure, along drop-offs, or in open water—the glide and pause of this jig can be tuned to match the moment. The Gypsy aims to keep you in rhythm with both water and bite, without making promises about results, but with plenty of potential to broaden your options.

Versatile Action for a Range of Conditions

The back slide design is optimized for slower to medium speeds, enabling a controlled glide that preserves depth and contact across varying currents. This allows you to experiment with pauses and subtle pulls to tempt selective fish, then shift to a steady draw for a more assertive presentation.

• Back slide provides predictable, controllable action at multiple speeds
• Chartreuse white glow increases visibility in stained or murky water
• Teardrop shape supports balanced fall and steady tracking

Premium Build and Durability

The Gypsy is equipped with premium BKK assist hooks, renowned for strength and reliable hookups. A through-wire system reinforced with extra plastic supports stands up to aggressive bites and tough conditions. Three final coats of clear resin protect the finish, helping maintain color and shine through regular use.

• BKK assist hooks enable dependable hookups across species
• Through-wire construction with added supports boosts durability
• Three coats of resin create a tough, long-lasting finish

Shallow or Deep, It Covers the Spectrum

Available in multiple sizes, The Gypsy can be tailored to the water you’re fishing. The teardrop body and robust build suit near-structure casting in shallow bays as well as deeper presentations where depth matters. A balanced weight helps maintain control whether drifting with current or wind.

Getting Started

Begin with a steady cast, then allow a gradual descent before initiating a slow-to-moderate retrieve. Short pauses can invite curious bites, while a quick, light pull may trigger a strike on a wary day. With The Gypsy in your tackle box, you gain a versatile option designed to adapt to a range of fishing environments.
