Description
Nomad Design Live Ops Jerksquid – Jerkshad Action. Squid Realism.
The Nomad Design Live Ops Jerksquid is the ultimate fusion of aggressive jerkbait movement and lifelike squid realism. It darts like a fleeing baitfish on the lift and pulses like a wounded squid on the pause — triggering strikes throughout the entire retrieve.
Fish it fast, twitch it slow, hop it off structure or even dead-stick it in the rod holder. The flowing tentacles and squid wings keep working no matter how you fish it.

Built for the Strike Zone
From its squid wings and flowing tentacles to the keel-shaped body and recessed rigging channels, every detail of the Jerksquid is engineered to deliver controlled glide, lifelike pulse and balanced rigging. The result is a bait that blends aggression with realism — and stays in the strike zone longer.
Important Storage Information
Jerksquid are made from ultra-tough Titan-RX™ TPE material, which can chemically react with other soft plastics if stored incorrectly.
- Store in the original packaging whenever possible (recommended)
- Use a worm-proof tackle box if transferring
- DO NOT store with non-TPE soft plastics
- DO NOT mix TPE baits from different brands
- TPE baits from the same brand can be stored together safely
When fish want the dart of a jerkbait and the realism of a squid — the Jerksquid delivers both.
