Vertrex Swim and Vertrex Max - The Soft Vibe Re-imagined

Vertrex Swim and Vertrex Max - The Soft Vibe Re-imagined

 

The Vertrex SWIM is a game-changing soft vibration bait, a true evolution of the classic soft vibe. It’s the first lure of its kind that both swims while sinking and vibrates when lifted, creating an irresistible combination that triggers strikes from a wide range of species.

Designed by Nomad Lure Creator Damon Olsen, the Vertrex Swim features a precisely tuned body shape and internal weight system that glides and swims naturally as it sinks, perfectly mimicking a lifelike baitfish. Lift your rod and the lure vibrates aggressively; let it freefall and it swims unpredictably. This unique swim-and-vibe action sets it apart from every other lure on the market.

Key Features of the Vertrex Swim

  • Innovative Action: Swims when sinking, vibrates when lifted, unlike any other soft vibe.

  • Unpredictable Glide: Random swim direction on each drop for a natural, erratic look.

  • Versatile Presentation: Fish it vertically, cast and retrieve, or use a fast lift-and-drop technique.

  • Strike-Zone Ready: Swims even under light tension, reducing missed bites.

  • Built Tough: Full wire internal construction for maximum strength.

  • Premium Hooks: Pre-rigged with BKK trebles ready to fish straight from the box.

Best fished with a yo-yo style fast lifting rod action to create vibration, followed by slack line to allow a natural, random swimming fall. Perfect for vertical jigging, mid-water predators, or bottom-feeding fish that can’t resist a slow, dying baitfish presentation.

If you’re targeting deeper fish or need maximum vibration at any speed, the VERTREX MAX is your ultimate weapon. Designed by Damon Olsen, this lure combines a deep body profile with perfectly balanced internal weights to create a soft vibe that sinks level and fast without unwanted spinning.

The Vertrex Max gets down to the strike zone quicker and stays there longer, allowing a more lifelike, controlled presentation. Its deeper body shape produces intense vibration, even at slow speeds, making it deadly for finicky or bottom-hugging fish.

Key Feature of the Vertrex Max

  • Maximum Vibration: Powerful pulse at both slow and fast retrieves.

  • Fast, Stable Sink: Balanced design prevents spinning and helps reach depth quickly.

  • Slow-Speed Deadly: Generates strong vibration even when gently hopped along the bottom.

  • Deeper Strike Zone: Sinks up to 2X faster than the Vertrex Swim.

  • Versatile Retrieve: Fish with slow hops, stop/start retrieves, or a steady roll.

  • Built to Last: Full wire internal construction + premium BKK trebles.

Perfect for anglers who want to cover more water at depth, keep the bait in the strike zone longer, and tempt fussy fish with a slow yet high-vibration presentation.

Whether you choose the Vertrex Swim for its lifelike, random swimming fall or the Vertrex Max for hard-hitting vibration at depth, these lures redefine what’s possible with soft vibes. Engineered for strength, rigged with premium hooks, and designed to outfish traditional soft plastics, Vertrex is the new standard for serious anglers.
