How to fish the Malosi - Atom 75P
Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
The Atom 75P excels as a surface popper in shallow estuaries, flats, and around reef edges.
Work it with sharp, deliberate rod twitches to produce pops and splashes, or use gentler bloops when fish are less aggressive. Vary your cadence to match feeding intensity - explosive pops draw strikes from active Kahawai, Trevally, and shallow-water Snapper, while subtle surface ripples work when conditions demand finesse.
Its 12.5g weight casts accurately into tight structures and wash zones where predators ambush prey, making it ideal for precision casting in confined spaces.
