How to use Nomad Design Jigs
Captain Rush Maltz, co-host of Local Knowledge TV and a seasoned Florida charter captain, knows his jigging. In this feature, he breaks down how and when he uses some of his favorite Nomad Design Jigs each designed for specific depths, actions, and species.
The Streaker
Built for speed and precision, the Streaker Jig features a long, slim profile that sinks fast, making it ideal for deep water or areas with strong current. Its erratic action and gliding fall make it deadly on Tuna, Kingfish, and other mid-water predators.
The Gypsea
A true all-rounder, the Gypsea Jig has a classic teardrop shape that adapts to nearly every jigging style. Fish it fast and erratic for Kingfish, or slow-pitch it methodically for Snapper and other bottom species. The wider body creates more flutter on the drop and a powerful thumping action on the lift.
The Buffalo
The Buffalo Jig is a slow-pitch, center-balanced jig designed for an irresistible flutter on the fall. Outfitted with 5X strong BKK hooks, it’s perfect for Tuna, Amberjack, or reef species holding near the bottom. Its wounded-baitfish fall triggers savage strikes, even from reluctant feeders.
From deep vertical jigging to slow-pitch finesse, Captain Rush shows why Nomad Jigs belong in every serious angler’s arsenal.
