Malosi - Minion 80F
About this lure
The Malosi Minion 80F is a precision-engineered shallow floating minnow designed to dominate skinny water and estuarine environments. Built with a robust dual-layer shell and high-grade ABS material, this 80mm lure offers a versatile action that transitions from a seductive slow roll to an erratic darting panic, making it a lethal option for New Zealand's shallow-water Snapper, Kahawai, and freshwater Trout.
- Precision Weighting – Delivers a balanced, highly responsive action that casts surprisingly well for its size.
- Floating Buoyancy – Rises on the pause to hover above weed beds and rock structure, minimizing snags in shallow zones.
- Versatile Action – Produces a tight shimmer on a slow roll or kicks and darts with aggressive rod twitches.
- Dual-Layer Construction – Ensures maximum durability against aggressive strikes from toothy predators.
- Pre-Rigged Hardware – Ready to fish with heavy-duty BKK 6066-3X #10 treble hooks for superior hook-up rates.
