Malosi - Marksman 10g
About this lure
The Malosi Marksman 10g is a precision-engineered micro casting metal designed to dominate New Zealand's inshore fisheries. Built from high-density zinc alloy rather than traditional lead, this lure offers a harder, more durable profile that withstands repeated strikes from aggressive Kahawai and the jagged terrain of rocky coastlines. Its compact 59mm profile perfectly matches the small baitfish like anchovies and whitebait often targeted by Snapper, Trevally, and Kingfish in estuaries and shallow bays.
- Zinc Alloy Construction β harder and more durable than lead to resist damage when fishing around rocks and reefs.
- Faceted Body Design β creates a brilliant flash on the retrieve and an enticing flutter on the drop to trigger strikes.
- Long Cast Profile β weight-forward aerodynamics allow for exceptional distance even in onshore winds.
- Pre-Rigged BKK Hardware β comes ready to fish with a sticky-sharp BKK #6 treble hook for secure hookups.
- Versatile Action β deadly on a fast burn for surface pelagics or a slow jigging retrieve for bottom dwellers.

How to fish the Malosi - Marksman 10g
Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
Cast the Malosi Marksman 10g to structure-rocky points, reef edges, and shallow bays-and work it with a fast, steady burn close to the surface for aggressive pelagics like Kahawai, Trevally, and Kingfish.
The compact 59mm profile and weight-forward design cast exceptionally far, even into onshore wind, making it ideal for reaching distant feeding zones in estuaries and shallow inshore waters.
For a different approach, slow the retrieve to a jigging cadence, allowing the lure to flutter on the drop. The faceted body creates flash on the lift and an enticing wobble as it sinks, triggering strikes from bottom-feeding species around rocky terrain. The 10g weight and zinc alloy construction handle repeated contact with rough ground without damage.
