Chasing Tarpon in the Florida Everglades

Nomad Design founder Damon Olsen heads to the breathtaking Florida Everglades to reunite with longtime friend and former Pro Staffer Captain Scott Bannerot, a familiar face from Nomad’s early Odyssey days. Together, they set out to chase one of the most iconic and elusive sportfish on the planet, the Tarpon.

Armed with Riptides and Madscads, Damon and Scott take on the challenge of hooking these prehistoric giants. The fishing isn’t easy Tarpon are powerful, unpredictable, and often humbling, but each cast brings new insights and inspiration. For Damon, every tough day on the water sparks ideas that shape the next generation of Nomad lures.

The adventure proves that Nomad and Florida are a natural fit, and this trip is just the beginning. As Damon says, “We’ll be back, Mr. Tarpon - look out.”
