Dogtooth Extreme: Tuna & Wahoo Fishing | The ODYSSEY Series - Episode 2

‘What a fish, what a place, how good is this’.
Visit Frederick reef, an isolated location 300 miles off the Australian coast where Dogtooth tuna, yellowfin tuna and wahoo patrol the sea mounts and reef edges. Jump on board the Odyssey as DTX220HD & DTX200HD prototypes get hit by wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna and Dogtooth Tuna to test their fish catching performance and overall durability. Ever wondered what DTX stands for? DOG TOOTH EXTREME. Dogtooth Tuna were at the forefront of DTX development as nothing at the time would stand up to the power of these fish on charter.

Before Nomad Design, there was Nomad Sportfishing Charters. Learn more about the Nomad Design origin story from founder Damon Olsen and Nomad sportfishing guide Scott Bannerot. Nomad is more than fishing gear. Its about a crazy idea that inspired an adventure that is still being lived today.  The Nomad story represents every anglers dream of fishing untouched waters, its about having a crazy idea that becomes reality, of pushing the boundaries of the status quo, of going where no-one has gone before. 
The Nomad Odyssey is the story of our ongoing pursuit to create the ultimate fishing tackle, tried and tested in the toughest fishing conditions around the world. This is our story but it’s also your story. Odyssey is the search that pushes anglers everywhere to go fishing every day, whether it's in the most remote places on earth or a familiar local river. It's the story of dedicated anglers doing seemingly crazy things in pursuit of their next fishing adventure. Join us on Odyssey as we fish the most prolific fishing grounds the world has to offer, for a behind the scenes look at what 'Crafted by Experience' really means to us. Nomad Design was born on the Odyssey mothership in Australia’s Coral Sea, where an angler's search for the ultimate fishing experience drove our founder Damon Olsen to set up Nomad Sportfishing Adventures, one of the world's most extreme fly in fishing charter operations. Necessity was the mother of invention, with Damon required to create tackle able to withstand the Coral Sea’s intense fishing action. Odyssey is the name of the original mothership that allowed us to travel into literally uncharted reefs searching for the ultimate bite. It’s what made us Crafted by Experience.
