Great hunters respect their prey. They study them, understand how they operate, where they go and why, know their strengths and weaknesses and use all this knowledge to catch them. That is as true at sea as on land, and if you’re going to outwit a bluefin tuna you had better be suitably equipped. The idea of a lure is simple, of course: you want the fish to think the lure is food, rather than a man-made fish-shaped object with a hook in it. With one of our bluefin tuna lures you’ve got something more realistic than most, and when a tuna spots one of them moving plausibly through the water, you’re going to grab their attention. Then they grab the lure, and you grab them. Simple, huh?

How did Nomad Tackle get Started?

Our founder, Damon Olsen, grew up in Australia, that great outpost of nature and wildlife, and fishing is in his blood. Particularly sport fishing. Having a highly practical mind and a side of creativity, after graduation he decided to use the knowledge gained through his engineering degree to up the ante on his hobby/passion by raising the quality of the equipment, with particular attention to fishing lures within the tackle industry. Realism was high on his list of attributes needed in a lure, and not just realistic appearance but convincing movement. Tuna and other game fish fancy their chances against bite-sized snacks that appear to be wounded – not an admirable way of thinking, but we’ve all heard of the survival of the fittest, and aggressive humans tend to pick on those who are likely to put up less of a fight. So, in the bluefin tuna’s eyes, if this lure that looks like a fish also looks a bit unsteady on its fins, that makes it easy prey.

When the tuna makes a grab for the lure, it’s not going to be a gentle movement, so Nomad Tackle’s bluefin tuna lures are robust enough to stay intact in these crucial situations. They are perfect examples of the marriage of design and engineering, flair and practicality. And, if you’re a jigging enthusiast, we also have bluefin tuna jigs at our disposal.
