The Nomad Design Buffalo Jig is a slow pitch, center-balanced jig, often referred to as a flatfall jig, engineered to mimic a wounded baitfish with its enticing fluttering action on the drop. Crafted with advanced materials for durability and tournament-grade performance, this jig is ideal for targeting deep-water predators like tuna, snapper, amberjack, grouper, and other reef species. Its unique design flutters at the start of the sink but descends quickly to reach deeper zones, making it highly effective for slow pitch jigging with long, slow rod lifts followed by a controlled drop.
The Buffalo Jig features a super-strong, super-sharp 5X BKK assist hook rigged on the tail to optimize hook-up rates during the slower fall. Available in vibrant colors with glow paint options (e.g., Full Glow Pink, Silver Glow Stripe), the jig maximizes attraction with a sideways kick and flash, expanding the strike zone for deep-sea species. Tested under extreme conditions by Nomad Design’s experienced team, the Buffalo Jig is a versatile, high-performance lure ready to tackle the toughest gamefish right out of the package.
The Lead Masters Cedar Plug Size 6 is a 6" offshore trolling plug built with a cedar wood body and integrated lead head — the same construction that has made cedar plugs one of the most proven offshore trolling lures for over a century. The cedar wood body provides natural buoyancy and a unique swimming action that plastic lures cannot replicate; the wood grain and density of cedar produce a subtle, erratic wobble on the troll that triggers strikes from Tuna, Yellowtail, Wahoo, and Mahi-Mahi. The integrated lead head provides the weight for the nose-down trolling angle and the action that makes cedar plugs effective at trolling speeds. Pre-rigged and ready to fish. 3 oz. 1 per pack. Available in 5 colors.
Key Features
- Cedar Wood Body — Proven Trolling Action — Cedar has been the material of choice for offshore trolling plugs for over 100 years; the natural density and grain structure of cedar wood produces a subtle, erratic wobble on the troll that is difficult to replicate with plastic or resin lure bodies; the cedar body absorbs water over time and develops a patina that many anglers believe enhances the lure’s action and scent profile; cedar plugs are most effective when trolled at 5–8 knots where the lead head and cedar body work together to produce the characteristic nose-down, tail-up swimming action.
- Integrated Lead Head — Nose-Down Trolling Angle — The lead head at the nose of the plug provides the weight needed for the correct nose-down trolling angle; the nose-down angle is critical for the cedar plug’s action — it causes the lure to dive and dart erratically on the troll, mimicking a fleeing baitfish; the lead head also provides the casting weight needed when the plug is used for casting to breaking fish.
- Pre-Rigged & Ready to Fish — The cedar plug comes pre-rigged with hook and hardware; no additional rigging required; simply attach to the leader and deploy; the pre-rigged configuration is set up for standard offshore trolling applications.
- 6" Body — Size 6 Profile — The 6" body length is the Size 6 profile, a versatile mid-size cedar plug that matches the profile of mackerel, flying fish, and other common offshore baitfish; effective for a wide range of offshore species from Yellowtail and Bonito to Bluefin Tuna and Wahoo.
- 5 Color Options — Natural Cedar (unfinished cedar wood), Blue White (blue back/white belly baitfish imitation), Dorado (Mahi-Mahi color pattern), Purple Black (dark attractor color for low-light and deep water), and Zucchini (green/yellow baitfish pattern); color selection depends on target species, water clarity, and light conditions.
Color Selection Guide
| Color | Best Application |
|---|---|
| Natural Cedar | Clear water, natural baitfish profile, versatile all-conditions |
| Blue White | Blue water offshore, mackerel & flying fish imitation, tuna & wahoo |
| Dorado | Mahi-Mahi targeted presentations, tropical offshore, weed lines |
| Purple Black | Low-light conditions, overcast days, deep water, squid imitation |
| Zucchini | Green water, mackerel imitation, yellowtail & tuna in green water |
Best For
- Bluefin & Yellowfin Tuna — Offshore Trolling — The cedar plug is one of the most proven tuna trolling lures; troll at 5–8 knots in a standard spread with the cedar plug on the short corner or long corner position; Blue White and Natural Cedar are the most effective colors for Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna in blue water conditions.
- Yellowtail — Effective for Yellowtail on the troll and when casting to breaking fish; the cedar plug’s erratic action triggers reaction strikes from Yellowtail that are actively feeding on baitfish; Zucchini and Blue White are effective Yellowtail colors.
- Wahoo — Wahoo are aggressive strike-and-cut predators that respond well to the cedar plug’s erratic trolling action at higher speeds (7–9 knots); Blue White and Purple Black are effective Wahoo colors in blue water.
- Mahi-Mahi (Dorado) — The Dorado color pattern is specifically designed for Mahi-Mahi presentations around weed lines, floating debris, and offshore structure; troll the Dorado cedar plug along weed lines at 6–8 knots for Mahi-Mahi.

The Lead Masters Squid Jig Glow is a purpose-built squid catcher for catching live squid for bait from a boat. The barbless spikes on the sides of the jig snag squid on the drop-through retrieve and release them easily into the bait tank — no barbs means no struggling to remove squid from the jig and no damaged bait. The integrated glow sinker body gets the jig down fast without any additional weight, and the glow attracts squid toward the jig in low-light and night conditions when squid are most active near the surface and at depth. Available in two Magnum models: 4 oz (Model 338) and 7.5 oz (Model 638). 1 per pack.
Note: Additional shipping charges may apply for larger sizes.
Key Features
- Barbless Spikes — Easy Squid Release into Bait Tank — The spikes on the sides of the jig are barbless; when squid are snagged on the drop-through retrieve, the barbless spikes allow the squid to slide off easily into the bait tank without struggling to remove them from the jig; barbless spikes also reduce damage to the squid during removal, keeping bait in better condition for fishing; the spike configuration is designed to snag squid efficiently on the upward retrieve through a squid school.
- Integrated Glow Sinker Body — No Additional Weight Needed — The jig body is a weighted glow sinker that provides the mass needed to drop through the water column quickly without any additional sinker or weight; the glow body attracts squid toward the jig in low-light and night conditions; charge the jig under a UV light or flashlight before each drop for maximum glow intensity; the integrated weight eliminates the need for a separate sinker on the rig.
- Drop-Through Technique — Simple & Effective — The technique is straightforward: locate squid below the boat on the fish finder or by observing surface activity, drop the jig through the squid school, and reel back up; the barbless spikes snag squid on the upward retrieve; repeat until the bait tank is full; no special rigging or technique required beyond the basic drop-and-retrieve.
- Two Magnum Models — 4 oz & 7.5 oz — The 4 oz Model 338 Magnum for shallower squid schools and moderate depth conditions; the 7.5 oz Model 638 Magnum for deeper squid schools and conditions where a heavier jig is needed to reach depth quickly; the heavier model also covers more water column on each drop due to its faster sink rate.
How to Use
- Charge the glow jig under a UV light or flashlight for maximum glow intensity.
- Locate squid below the boat using a fish finder or by observing surface squid activity.
- Drop the jig through the squid school to the desired depth.
- Reel back up steadily — the barbless spikes will snag squid on the upward retrieve.
- Swing the jig over the bait tank — squid will slide off the barbless spikes easily.
- Repeat until the bait tank is stocked.
Best For
- White Seabass Bait — Live Squid — Live squid is the premier bait for White Seabass; the Glow Squid Jig is the most efficient way to catch live squid from a boat during squid spawning events; the glow body attracts squid in the low-light conditions when White Seabass are most actively feeding on squid near the surface.
- Night Squid Fishing — Squid are most active at night and are attracted to light; the glow jig body provides a luminescent attractor that draws squid toward the jig in the dark; most effective when used in conjunction with a light source (lantern or underwater light) to concentrate squid below the boat.
- General Live Bait Collection — Live squid is effective bait for a wide range of saltwater species including Yellowtail, Halibut, Calico Bass, and Lingcod; the Glow Squid Jig provides an efficient way to stock the bait tank with live squid for any saltwater fishing application.
Optimum Baits has created the most lifelike Magnum Octopus we've seen. The detail in the head, eyes, and tentacles is crazy. This hand poured octopus is a soft bodied mollusk that rules the bottom water column.

These P-Line Rock Cod Rigs are ready to hit the water. They include the line, swivels, hooks, and two plastic squids. The Rock Cod Rig is a smaller version of the highly effective Ling Cod Rig. At 3.5 inches these squid are the perfect length for school sized rockfish. This version is also tied on 50 pound leader, but uses a smaller 5/0 hook. When it’s time to load the cooler with a limit of Rock Cod you’d better have one of these rigs in your arsenal.
Here at Tackle Express, we like to put a small piece of squid or some gel fish attractant on the squid. The gel scent can be Hookup Baits Mermaid Milk, Smelly Jelly, Hot Sauce, or any kind of scent that stays on well. We like to put it inside the squid so it releases slowly.
Add a weight that is heavy enough to get to the depth of water you're fishing, hit the bottom and jig it up and down 3 feet at a time using the rod tip. After a few times, send it to the bottom again since the terrain can change as the boat drifts.

Simply lift the rod tip smoothly, then allow the jig to fall on controlled slack line. The asymmetrical design creates an irresistible horizontal flutter as it descends, often triggering strikes during the fall when fish are watching and following.

HOW TO STORE
Our Vertrex Vibes are made from TPE Ultra-Tough Material. Like most other plastics on the market, it’s important not to store two different types of plastics together as they can cause a chemical reaction, which can deform the plastics.
Below are some tips for storing your TPE-based Nomad Design lures:
- Where possible, store your TPE lure in the original packaging or within the Nomad Vertrex Storage Box – these are the safest options.
- If you prefer to store your lure in a tackle box, ensure that the tackle box is “worm proof” Worm proof boxes are specifically designed not to react with soft plastic materials.
- Do not store TPE lures with non-TPE lures.
REMEMBER: You can store TPE products of the same brand altogether, but they must be kept separate from other branded TPE products and non-TPE plastics.

The Lead Masters Chain Reaction Daisy Chain is a daisy chain style offshore trolling lure designed by Captain Mark Wisch. The daisy chain configuration strings multiple lures in series to create the visual illusion of a school of baitfish swimming together — one of the most effective triggers for large pelagic species like Tuna, Yellowtail, Wahoo, and Mahi-Mahi that are conditioned to attack concentrated schools of bait rather than individual prey. When a large predator sees the Chain Reaction moving through the water, it sees a school of bait in flight and responds with an aggressive, committed strike. Available in 5 colors for different water conditions and target species.
Key Features
- Daisy Chain Configuration — Bait School Illusion — The daisy chain strings multiple lures in series on a single leader, creating the visual profile of a school of baitfish moving together through the water; large pelagic predators — Tuna, Wahoo, Yellowtail, and Mahi-Mahi — are conditioned to attack concentrated bait schools because the school represents a high-calorie feeding opportunity; the daisy chain triggers the same aggressive, committed strike response that a real bait school would; the Chain Reaction is most effective when trolled at 5–8 knots where the lures swim and flutter in a realistic bait school pattern.
- Designed by Captain Mark Wisch — The Chain Reaction was designed by Captain Mark Wisch, an experienced offshore captain whose design reflects real-world offshore trolling experience; the lure configuration, color options, and action are the result of on-the-water development targeting the pelagic species that respond to daisy chain presentations.
- 5 Color Options — Matched to Water & Light Conditions — Purple Black for low-light, overcast, and squid-imitation presentations; Yellow Blue for blue water offshore and mackerel/flying fish imitation; Yellow Orange for high-visibility attractor presentations in choppy or stained water; Blue Silver for blue water baitfish imitation in clear conditions; Green Black for green water and mackerel imitation in mixed water conditions.
- Offshore Trolling Application — Deploy the Chain Reaction in a standard offshore trolling spread at 5–8 knots; most effective when positioned in the prop wash or on the short rigger where the lures are visible to fish tracking the boat’s wake; the daisy chain can also be used as a teaser without a hook to raise fish to the surface before switching to a rigged bait or single lure.
Color Selection Guide
| Color | Best Application |
|---|---|
| Purple Black | Low-light, overcast, squid imitation, night trolling |
| Yellow Blue | Blue water offshore, mackerel & flying fish imitation, tuna & wahoo |
| Yellow Orange | High-visibility attractor, choppy or stained water, mahi-mahi |
| Blue Silver | Clear blue water, baitfish imitation, tuna & yellowtail |
| Green Black | Green water, mackerel imitation, yellowtail & tuna in mixed water |
Best For
- Bluefin & Yellowfin Tuna — Daisy chains are one of the most proven tuna trolling presentations; the bait school illusion triggers aggressive strikes from Tuna that are conditioned to attack concentrated bait schools; Blue Silver and Yellow Blue are the most effective colors for Tuna in blue water; troll at 5–8 knots in a standard spread with the Chain Reaction on the short corner or in the prop wash.
- Yellowtail — Effective for Yellowtail on the troll when fish are actively feeding on baitfish schools; the daisy chain’s bait school illusion is particularly effective when Yellowtail are keying on mackerel and sardine schools; Green Black and Yellow Blue are effective Yellowtail colors.
- Wahoo — Wahoo are aggressive predators that respond to the daisy chain’s bait school presentation at higher trolling speeds; Yellow Blue and Purple Black are effective Wahoo colors in blue water.
- Mahi-Mahi — Effective for Mahi-Mahi around weed lines, floating debris, and offshore structure where Mahi congregate to ambush baitfish; Yellow Orange and Green Black are effective Mahi-Mahi colors; troll the Chain Reaction along weed lines at 6–8 knots.
