Precise Balanced Control
The Adjusta-Ball Tungsten System is Nomad Design’s patented soft plastic Weight Control System, giving you full control over your bait’s sink rate, fall angle, and balance without relying on bulky jigheads. Easily add or remove tungsten balls to customise your presentation for depth, current, or species.
Whether you’re fishing weedless in shallow water or working deep structure for Snapper, Flathead, Barra or Jacks, Adjusta-Ball™ puts the power of precision in your hands.

why it works
The Adjusta-Ball Tungsten System gives anglers precision control over how their soft plastic moves, sinks, and stays in the strike zone. Here's why it makes a difference:
- Add or remove tungsten balls to perfectly match depth, current, or retrieve speed.
- Achieve a natural horizontal glide, vertical drop, or anything in between.
- Maintain a clean, weedless presentation while still getting the weight you need.
- Make real-time changes to your rig without retying or switching baits.
- Fine-tune your lure to hold its position where fish are feeding.
- Tungsten weighting boosts visibility on LiveScope™ and forward-facing sonar.
- Fish weedless, skip-cast, or hover-rig with total depth control.
More control. More confidence. More fish.
fallout minnow
Engineered for maximum versatility, the Fallout Minnow is built around the Adjusta-Ball Tungsten System, giving anglers the ability to precisely tune sink rate, fall angle, and balance on the fly. The spear tail design delivers dynamic flicks and subtle body roll at slow speeds, while the lifelike fin and body detail enhances realism in clear or pressured water.
With dedicated rigging slots including a nose channel, top hook alignment, and belly hook markers it's optimised for weedless, jighead, or hover rig setups. Designed to track level, dart side-to-side, or suspend horizontally depending on rigging and weight configuration, the Fallout Minnow is the ultimate soft plastic for targeting wary fish in finesse conditions.
delta minnow
The Delta Minnow fuses jerkbait realism with soft plastic versatility. Its built-in diving lip creates a natural dart and glide, while the Adjusta-Ball Tungsten System lets you tune sink rate, fall angle, and buoyancy without bulky jigheads.
Smart rigging features like the nose channel, hook alignment slot, and belly markers make weedless and jighead setups easy. A thin tail wrist and ripple belly fins add subtle movement at dead-slow speeds for a lifelike, controlled presentation.
Ideal for twitching, slow rolling, or hover-style finesse in pressured or clear water.
cobra minnow
Designed for dynamic retrieves, the Cobra Minnow features a flared wing profile that generates erratic side-to-side and upward darting action ideal for reaction bites. The Adjusta-Ball™ Tungsten System gives anglers precise control over fall speed and balance without relying on heavy jigheads.
With a super-thin tail for action at slow speeds, rippled belly fins for added tail kick, and realistic rigging markers, it’s built for versatility. Top hook slot, nose channel, and durable Titan-RX™ TPE make it ideal for weedless or structured rigging in tough conditions.
Perfect for twitch-pause, skip-casting, or fast-tracking big predators.
