Malosi - Echo 65F
About this lure
The Malosi Echo 65F is a precision-engineered micro stickbait designed to dominate New Zealand's estuaries, flats, and rock edges. Built for finesse topwater presentations, this 65mm floating pencil perfectly mimics small baitfish like anchovies and whitebait, making it an irresistible target for surface-feeding Kahawai, Trevally, and shallow-water Snapper. Its balanced weight distribution ensures surprising casting distance for its size while delivering a seductive action that triggers aggressive strikes in calm or pressured waters.
- Walk-the-Dog Action – Delivers an exaggerated side-to-side cadence with a subtle click to call in predators from distance.
- Micro Profile – The 65mm size perfectly matches the hatch when fish are fixated on small baitfish schools.
- Floating Buoyancy – Pauses on the surface to hover over weed beds or oyster racks, allowing for a deadly twitch-and-pause retrieve.
- Durable Construction – Features a dual-layer shell design to withstand the punishment of aggressive strikes from NZ saltwater species.
- Quality Hardware – Comes factory-rigged with sticky-sharp BKK 6066-3X #12 treble hooks for instant hook-ups.

How to fish the Malosi - Echo 65F
Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
The Echo 65F excels on a twitch-and-pause retrieve over shallow flats, estuaries, and rock edges.
Work it with short, sharp rod twitches to generate its signature walk-the-dog action, pausing between bursts to let it hover. This cadence triggers strikes from surface-feeding fish in both calm and pressured conditions.
Pair it with light spinning or baitcaster gear spooled with 6-10 lb braid for precise casting and immediate strike detection.
The 65mm profile and floating design make it ideal when small baitfish schools are active in the shallows.
