Nomad Design R&D Team

Every lure starts with a spark of inspiration. A sketch that comes to life through countless hours of testing, tweaking, and reimagining. From swim tank trials to endless on-water sessions, we pour decades of experience into every detail. Some designs take years to perfect, but that’s the Nomad way, built on patience, passion, and performance.
