Nomad Design has once again redefined innovation in fishing baits with the introduction of the Live Ops Soft Plastic Minnow Range, now equipped with the Adjusta-Ball Tungsten System. Designed to give anglers unprecedented control over weight distribution, sink rate, and presentation, Live Ops soft plastics bring together cutting-edge technology and meticulous craftsmanship to mimic the behavior of real baitfish like never before.
GAME-CHANGING TECHNOLOGY: THE ADJUSTA-BALL TUNGSTEN SYSTEM
Traditional soft plastics sink head-first, creating an unnatural presentation that wary fish often ignore. The patented Adjusta-Ball Tungsten System solves this by allowing anglers to insert tungsten balls into internal chambers within the bait. This enables precise tuning of the bait’s balance, angle, and sink rate, delivering a natural, horizontal sinking action that replicates real baitfish behavior.
Whether you’re fishing on a jighead, a weighted EWG, or a weedless setup, this customizable system provides up to 20,000 unique rigging and weight combinations, offering a new level of flexibility for every condition and fishing style.

The Fallout Minnow isn’t just a bait—it’s a finesse tool built to fool even the most pressured bass.
DELTA MINNOW: VERSATILE DEPTH AND ACTION CONTROL

Its soft-plastic bill keeps it at the perfect depth, creating a consistent, natural swim.Rig it on a ball head for a tight rolling action, ideal for forward-facing sonar strolling. Or, combine it with the Adjusta-Ball Tungsten System and a flipping hook to turn it into a soft-bodied jerkbait—fish it the same way, but with even more realism and fluid motion.Weedless rigging, skipping under cover, or twitching through open water—it’s all easy with rigging markers and alignment slots.
