Malosi - Marksman 20g
About this lure
The Malosi Marksman 20g is a precision-engineered casting metal designed to dominate New Zealand's inshore flats, rock ledges, and shallow reefs. Built from high-density zinc alloy rather than traditional lead, this lure offers superior hardness and durability while maintaining a lighter weight-to-size ratio that generates an enticing flutter on the drop. Ideally suited for targeting Kahawai, Snapper, and Trevally, its aerodynamic profile ensures exceptional casting distance even into strong coastal winds.
- Zinc Alloy Construction β Harder and more durable than lead, providing a distinct acoustic profile and long-lasting finish.
- Faceted Body Design β Creates a brilliant flashing action that mimics fleeing baitfish during a fast retrieve or flutter.
- Superior Casting Distance β Weight-forward aerodynamics allow for long-range casts to reach surface schooling fish.
- Versatile Action β effective whether burnt across the surface, twitched mid-water, or jigged vertically off the bottom.
- Pre-Rigged BKK Hardware β Comes factory fitted with a heavy-duty BKK #4 Treble hook for instant hook-setting power.

How to fish the Malosi - Marksman 20g
Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
Cast the Marksman 20g to surface-feeding fish on flats, reefs, and rock ledges.
Work it with a fast, steady retrieve to trigger the faceted body's flashing action, mimicking fleeing baitfish, or slow the pace and twitch it mid-water for a subtle flutter.
The 20g weight and aerodynamic profile cut through coastal wind, reaching distant schooling fish.
Drop it vertically off structure and jig to cover the water column, then burn it back to the surface-versatility makes it effective across retrieve speeds and depths.
