Nomad Design Vertrex Swim Vibe Inshore – Purple Bandit, 75mm, 2/5 oz

Meet the Vertrex Swim Vibe Inshore

The Nomad Design Vertrex Swim Vibe Inshore in Purple Bandit blends a soft, lifelike profile with a smart action that matters in real fishing situations. As the lure sinks, it initiates a natural swimming motion, then responds with a distinct vibration when you lift the rod. This dual behavior helps you explore depth and presentation without switching lures, giving you a versatile option for varied water conditions and target species.

Smart design that performs in the water

Designed for both casting and vertical work, this lure delivers a believable baitfish silhouette combined with a purposeful tail vibration. The compact 3 inch body stays nimble in tight cover, while the sinking motion invites predators to commit. Equipped with ready-to-fish BKK 1X Trebles #8, it arrives prepared for immediate action straight from the tackle box.
