riptide

The Ultimate Stickbait for Realistic Action.
The Riptide range features advanced Nomad Design technology, including the Matrix Metal Plate, HD-ABS, HD Foam, and Gorilla Through Wire systems for strength and performance. The floating model delivers a smooth, strike-inducing ‘S’ shaped swim, while the sinking version casts long and performs a walk-the-dog action, turning up to 180° with each twitch. Built tough and perfectly balanced, the Riptide is a deadly stickbait for serious anglers.
