Adjusta-Ball Tungsten System

Total Control. Total Innovation.

Introducing the Nomad Design Live Ops™ Total Control Bait System, featuring the patent-pending Adjusta-Ball Tungsten Technology, a revolutionary advancement in soft bait design. This system lets you insert and position tungsten weights inside the bait’s internal chamber, giving you full control over balance, sink rate, and action for the most natural presentation ever created.

Why does it matter? Real baitfish don’t sink headfirst. Traditional soft baits on jigheads do and look unnatural to fish. With Live Ops™, your bait sinks perfectly horizontal, mimicking live prey and triggering more bites. This fully customizable system offers up to 20,000 rigging and weighting combinations across three unique soft bait designs, whether you’re fishing on a jighead, weedless setup, or weighted EWG hook.

Live Ops™ means total tungsten weight control and the most realistic soft bait action in freshwater fishing.

Its realistic body shape and unique spear tail deliver a lifelike roll and side-to-side swing, while detailed fins add true fish-like motion in the water.

Powered by the patent-pending Live Ops™ Adjusta-Ball Tungsten System, you can fine-tune the sink rate, angle, and action for unmatched versatility. Fish it level, twitch it for an erratic motion, or slow roll it for a natural swim, the Fallout Minnow performs in every scenario.

With its nose rigging channel, hook alignment slots, and rigging markers, this soft bait is easy to set up weedless or on a worm hook. Whether you skip it, flip it, or twitch it, the Fallout Minnow adapts perfectly to your fishing style.

Adaptable. Realistic. Deadly effective. The Fallout Minnow isn’t just another bait, it’s a precision tool built to dominate freshwater predators like largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass.
