Malosi - Vader 220F
About this lure
The Malosi Vader 220F is a commanding floating stickbait engineered to draw explosive strikes from New Zealand’s apex predators. Built with a unique hybrid construction, it features a solid Paulownia wood core encapsulated in a toughened resin shell, offering the lively action of timber with the durability required for heavy salt water use. Ideally suited for targeting Kingfish and Tuna around reef edges and pins, this lure moves serious water with a wide S-shaped swimming action and a dense bubble trail.
- Hybrid Construction – Combines a solid Paulownia wood core with a 2mm ABS-like resin shell for superior action and durability.
- Heavy-Duty Wiring – Features a 2mm stainless steel 316L through-wire system to withstand the crushing power of trophy fish.
- Versatile Action – Produces a wide, slashing S-curve on the sweep and an erratic porpoise action when twitched.
- Long Casting – Rear-weighted design ensures stability in flight and maximum distance even in windy conditions.
- Premium Finish – Coated with 10 layers of polyurethane for maximum resistance to toothy strikes and hook rash.
- Rigging Versatility – Tunable buoyancy allows for the use of heavy trebles for grip or inline singles for improved release.
