Malosi Vader Floating Stickbait

The erratic slashing action of this long casting rear weighted floating stickbait has proved absolutely irresistible to large pelagic. This finesse lure was originally designed for huge GT, but the Vader is equally as effective for chasing large tuna, kingfish and mackerel species. Featuring a more traditional design and a single carefully balanced rear weight, anglers with experience using this type of floating stickbait will appreciate the responsiveness and range of different actions this alluring lure can perform. This lure is crafted from solid Paulownia encapsulated in a hard resin shell, with 2mm stainless steel through wire and multiple layers of tough protective coating for the ultimate durability.

Swim Action

The Vader creates a wide, slashing S-curve with dense bubble trails when swept, and an erratic, splashing porpoise action when twitched. It also swims seductively just below the surface with a tip-down, straight retrieve at a controlled speed. For a large, responsive floating stickbait with a commanding presence, the Vader is the lure you need to be throwing.
