THE NOMAD ODYSSEY

"An extraordinary and crazy idea that inspired an adventure still being lived today!"

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.

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, and for a behind the scenes look at what 'Crafted by Experience' really means to us.

The early Odyssey episodes will take you back to where it all began in the Coral Sea, back to the Nomad Sportfishing Adventures era where uncharted reefs and huge fish were waiting to be discovered by crazy pioneering anglers. The early days of Nomad Sportfishing saw fly in floatplane adventures to some of the most remote Coral Reefs on earth. It was the first time anyone had ever flown a seaplane to these remote reefs and the first Odyssey mothership was purpose built with jet fuel storage to allow this incredible adventure to unfold.

The early days of Nomad Sportfishing was a story as old as mankind. Young men in search of adventure pushing the boundaries of what was possible and doing things that had never been done before. Led by Damon's sense of adventurethe early days of charter were filled with incredible stories and adventure. The Odyssey series will take you on a journey from these early days all the way to the present day and the incredible story of how Nomad Design tackle still embraces the same sense of adventure and the push for innovation.

The Odyssey series takes you behind the scenes and shows you what Crafted by Experience is all about.

”I’m back where it all started. 300 nautical miles out in the Coral Sea Island territories, out beyond the edge of the Great Barrier Reef. Its an incredible remote location and very difficult to access."
UNTOUCHED PARADISE
