They look the goods mate and the uv in them is quite impressive 👌 damo definitely knows how to put a sweet lure together 🤙💯 how's the big ol red coming up for a ice bath though yeahhhh boyyy👌🥳 🎣🎣
Yeah man the UV in them is epic! Every colour is well thought out! Rossco did an epic job there!! I did think for a second about releasing him but i had no fish and what better than a big red on ya burger 😅😎👌🏻
@Micksgonefishing ha ha ha yeah bro releasing all that flavour into your taste buds 😂😂😂 it's OK you got to send his little brother home so technically you are even lol cracker vid too BTW 🤙👌
Gotta be happy with that outcome on the Reds, PB on the new Squidtrex! I reckon they’ll go hard on the Snapper in close and possibly the Kings n Jew! Hanging to out them in the water once Cyclone Gab passes! Great stuff Mick!
Thanks mate, yeah that’s a dream come true to catch a fish like that on a prototype lure in those circumstances. I had these lures before anyone else but the weather didn’t let me at em until 2 weeks before the release! We were chasing fingermark and had a tough start to the day on another zone so moved out to further islands to some other proven ground and first drift that happened! Monkey off the back in a big way 😅 couldn’t have been better really! To be honest I was expecting a monster fingermark but even better the unicorn of the islands, I think you can hear the excitement in my laugh 😂😂😂
@@Micksgonefishing bloody oath mate, giggling like a nun on acid! I would’ve been doing the same if it were half that size! Been watching the maps of late and you guys have copped nothing but prop wash for days plus all the rain! Soon as I saw them, like most of the Nomad Lures of late, those Max Vibes etc plus now the Squidtrex they’ve created something very special and unique that’s for sure. And yes, that was definitely a “WTF NO Way” moment my end when I saw that big red hit the surface, Trophy Fish that’s for sure! 🍻
Thanks mate, I got sick of trying to jam my bail shut with bites on the drop so I wanted to try overhead. It’s a bit cumbersome with the vibing because of the drag the lure creates at depth so I wanted a light, comfortable setup to make it less cumbersome, hence going to a low profile, the grappler felt epic so I thought I’d try it… I can’t jig on my slow pitch setups, I prefer a faster tip section to put energy into the lure, tried the reel on the SW game 3-6 overhead but it didn’t balance well with the reel… the nomad 3-6 slow pitch balanced nice and has the action i was after. It’s pretty brutal on most fish but the power is welcome on big stuff!
Hahaha thanks mate!! Very happy! Any red is welcome and a pb in that close will be forever hard to beat! Can’t wait to see what these do when the fish are actually chewing!
Thanks mate, yeah Dave and Elen did get a few fish but I did give them both a touch up 😅 Poor Dave couldn’t land a fish, almost everything he hooked was huge and couldn’t be stopped…
Hey bro I’m quite limited to where I can go in my 4m but my work is quite flexible so I see more calm days then not, I’m really struggling to find ground in that 20-30m mark I’ve figured out the shallows 10-15. Would you have any contour tips or anything to point me in the right direction?
My best tip is to get your side scan dialed for the inshore ground and use those good weather days to get good scans. I got relief shading on my 4m tinny which puts me in the area then I sidescan to see if there’s much worth hitting… but the problem is I need it to be calm to get a decent picture and decipher what I’m seeing…
@@Micksgonefishing yeah bro that’s a big thing I’ve noticed is struggling to get good picture on sidescan with any sort of swell, I’ve got bathymaps to narrow my search down just can’t seem to find anything worth dropping on, I’m sure it will all come together one day! Thanks for replying so quick👌🏽them fingermark can only hide for so long 😆
Thanks mate! I think it was a big Māori Wrasse, if you watch it again he gets me back into the rocks a couple of times before taking off across the sand to his bommie. He knew exactly where to go!
MICK! Love ya stuff mate. Can you give me a run down on which is the pressure side. Is it the side the current hits first? Do fish prefer to sit on the pressure side of a ledge?
I’m going out filming tomorrow so be sure to watch the next offshore clip and I’ll go into detail on the pressure edge, what I’m chasing and how I’m going to approach it. I’m going out searching for new stuff with my dad so it should be fun! 👌🏻
You definitely want a bit more tip than the slow pitch rods have to offer, the pe3-6 Nomad rod in the slow pitch is the pick if you want it for vibing only, but it’s a bit stiff for the slow pitch jigs we run…
Thanks for the video. I'd like to try this here in Adana Türkiye (Med coast) to see if it works. But it seems stocks are all sold out. Where can we buy these? Thank you.
No problem!! Yeah they kinda went crazy with this lure and it sold out really fast! There will be a few floating around the place but they won’t be easy to find until stocks become available again…
Haven’t looked at it on paper but it’s pretty decent! I’ll have a play with it and get a few extra kg when I get around to it but for now it fishes 50lb no problem.
Sealed it with more evidence, See how they go on some Jew, Snapper & Kingfish down mid nsw Monster Red 👍 Anyone snapped a rod from High sticking it, If not only a matter of time. 🤷♂🤷♂ Cheers
Thanks mate, I’m sure they’ll have a place in that fishery down there! Haven’t broken one myself but the way the fish bite at the top of that double lift I’m sure it can be arranged 😅😂
@Micksgonefishing yes I have some friends Who did pay a lot to get that Lures heare in Europe. And the truth is that there in austral part of sea .. aus / new Zealand has many more fish than heare ...I'm not saying anything bad about that lure..I'm saying that if the fish is a lot will eat with almost everything...
That's the 3rd video I've watched featuring those vibes and I've got to say I'm bloody impressed!! I'll definitely be adding a few to my arsenal
They go good hey!!
Love waking up to these videos here in Florida. Epic constant man.glad to see my favorite Aussie fishermen debut this new kit.
Thanks man, appreciate your comment!!! I came and fished Florida in 2019 and I’m stinging to get back! Hopefully iCast this year I’ll be back!
The Squid on the 'Squidtrex' was such a stitch up!
And the reaction just made it all the better 🤣🤣
Haha I thought it was a wire net cod 😂
Great trip you had. Well done.
It was! Thanks!
SPEECHLESS, truley awesome mike!!!!!
Not bad, good size 👌🏻
Lucky the beard grew back again in the end mate, I was having withdrawals for a second there 🤣
Bahahaha I’m glad someone noticed, we had 2 good days to get out and test them in the 2 months prior to release…
Awesome content man, I love waiting for it to come on so I can watch 🎉❤

Nice red straight up, winning lol.
For sure! New PB and in close to boot 💪🏻
Squid on a squid that’s awesome.. Think the lady is just good luck on the boat ☺️
Hahaha yeah, blew my mind! It even bit like a fish!
@@Micksgonefishing These vibes proper slay!
I’ve got some ideas but I need a bigger boat, you wouldn’t happen to know anyone 😅😂
@@Micksgonefishing 🙈🙈🙈
Solid results on that Squidtrex
That second fish was a beast
Oh man, what a battle!
How’s the donkey of a red ! 🤟 definitely getting a few squidtrex in the tackle box soon I reckon
It was a proper one hey!! Better be quick Nomads sold out of the 110 and 130 sizes already 😅
Another great video. How good are these new products that come out and you can test them for us.
Thanks mate, for sure!! Pretty stoked with how testing went with these too! That big red is the dream fish on a lure!!!
Awesome review on the Squidtrex , what solid hook was used on the bottom on the lure?
It’s a BKK Diablo 3/0
Awesome red mate yeww🤙🤙
Yeah man, new PB 82cm probably closer to 84 but I didn’t put it on the mat 🤦🏼♂️
What kind of knot do you use to tie the squidtrex on the leader line?
Just a loop knot mate 👌🏻
Quality footage and fishing again 👌 What prompted the move to Nomad and Grappler setup ? Or is this purely a vibe/squid outfit?
Thanks mate, I got sick of trying to jam my bail shut with bites on the drop so I wanted to try overhead. It’s a bit cumbersome with the vibing because of the drag the lure creates at depth so I wanted a light, comfortable setup to make it less cumbersome, hence going to a low profile, the grappler felt epic so I thought I’d try it… I can’t jig on my slow pitch setups, I prefer a faster tip section to put energy into the lure, tried the reel on the SW game 3-6 overhead but it didn’t balance well with the reel… the nomad 3-6 slow pitch balanced nice and has the action i was after.

must have this squid jig inside my tackle box😻
You won’t be disappointed 👌🏻
Great vid but aren’t there other people on the boat catching with the new squid lure?
Thanks mate, yeah Dave and Elen did get a few fish but I did give them both a touch up 😅 Poor Dave couldn’t land a fish, almost everything he hooked was huge and couldn’t be stopped…

Great video. Can we add treble hook to the second hole as an extra modification? Anyone has an idea? Thank you...
Yeah you can and I have done so but it does dull down the action which is why I run the inline single 👌🏻
@@Micksgonefishing thanks. I try assist hooks then. Sounds better
Could that combo double up as bottom bashing as well?
Yeah sure could!
Quality as per usual! Solid bust off, what did you reckon it was?
Thanks mate! I think it was a big Māori Wrasse, if you watch it again he gets me back into the rocks a couple of times before taking off across the sand to his bommie. He knew exactly where to go!
What gear are you using keen in getting one of these set ups
Shimano grappler reel on a pe3-6 Nomad slow pitch rod 👌🏻
MICK! Love ya stuff mate. Can you give me a run down on which is the pressure side. Is it the side the current hits first? Do fish prefer to sit on the pressure side of a ledge?

@@Micksgonefishing awesome man, looking forward to it.
woohoo new video :D
Let’s a go 👌🏻✌🏻
It will be in the discount bins next to the Lucanus Jigs in no time.
Hahaha we will see, I doubt it but…
Can we get this on amazon in the USA?
Not sure mate, they’re available in the US Tackle stores as far as I’m aware..
Hey Mick will it be ok on my SPJ rod or does a person want that stiffer tip?
You definitely want a bit more tip than the slow pitch rods have to offer, the pe3-6 Nomad rod in the slow pitch is the pick if you want it for vibing only, but it’s a bit stiff for the slow pitch jigs we run…
YEEEW ITS UPPPPP!!!!!!!!!
Yewwwww 👌🏻😎

wow where can we get this. Im excited
They sold out pretty fast last time but more coming soon, keep your eye on Nomads web site 👌🏻
@@Micksgonefishing cool thanks
How much drag those reels have?
Haven’t looked at it on paper but it’s pretty decent! I’ll have a play with it and get a few extra kg when I get around to it but for now it fishes 50lb no problem.
Aye Mick they look the goods mate have you had a crack at the Jewies yet ? cheers
Nah not yet mate, I’ll try it sometime soon..
@@Micksgonefishing cool recon I will give them a go up in NT too keen to see if them jew climb all over them will let u know
What rod & reel u using mate
6’8 Pe3-6 Nomad Jig rod and a shimano grappler reel
Hey I like that shirt where can I purchase it ?
Tide Apparel Website should have it if not maybe BCF Website..
The best momend Mr IM from Indonesian
Thanks mate 🙏🏼
What reel and rod are u using ???
Full tackle run down is in the first couple of minutes of the video, that rod seems to be suited well to the bigger sized vibes!
Do all the types glow?
Not all but most do
That’s a Wrasse for sure. Big tail thumps and dead weight in between runs. Good red too mate
Yeah not much does that to ya, I was well under gunned 😅
How much $$///and where do i get them 😊😊😊
Where are you located, check the nomad site and find your local dealer..
Buenas.
Alguien sabe el nombre de la página donde se puede adquirir estos señuelos.
Gracias
Google Nomad design and you should get directed to a stockist list for your region.
Hi sir I am in qatar where I get this jig
Hit up the Nomad website to see your closest stockist
Whitsundays ....right??????
Kinda… Bottom end of the Whitsunday islands I guess you’d call it
That combo's the goods Mick! How ya rate the grappler brus! Epic vid man!!! Love it keep reel legend!🤙
Thanks bro!! Goes good aye, wouldn’t mind a slightly longer handle for more torque but for an off the shelf reel it’s pretty tough!
spotnya penuh tarikan yang tegang

Easy to use a Lure in place's that are full of fish like aus or nz try tu use it in mediterranean sea ..... you will not catch anything....
Have you tried it? With that attitude you’ll come here and catch nothing also 😅
@Micksgonefishing yes I have some friends Who did pay a lot to get that Lures heare in Europe.
And the truth is that there in austral part of sea .. aus / new Zealand has many more fish than heare ...I'm not saying anything bad about that lure..I'm saying that if the fish is a lot will eat with almost everything...

Lol 😂
Haha it’s smooth as anything else in its class until you put the thumb on the drag!
