Malosi Chieftain 180F Floating Stickbait Lure

The Malosi Chieftain 180F Floating Stickbait Lure is a heavy-duty floating stickbait designed for powerful kingfish and pelagic fishing. Its hybrid construction combines a buoyant solid Paulownia wood core with a durable resin shell, delivering responsive topwater action with the strength required for aggressive strikes.

At rest, the lure maintains a horizontal surface posture that resembles an injured baitfish. A straight retrieve produces an erratic S-shaped swimming action, while sweeping or popping creates an aggressive bubble trail to attract fish from a distance.

The Chieftain 180F is reinforced with a 2 mm stainless-steel through-wire and protected by ten layers of polyurethane coating. It can be rigged with treble hooks, single hooks or a mixed-hook setup to suit different fishing conditions.
