How to fish the Malosi - Marksman 80g
Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
The Malosi Marksman is a sinking metal lure that excels in coastal workups and rocky ground.
Cast it long into the strike zone, then work it with a fast, steady burn to draw pelagics like Kahawai and Kingfish to the surface, or use a jig-and-pause rhythm to work deeper reef structure.
The 80g weight cuts through headwinds and sinks quickly, making it ideal for reaching schooling fish in rough conditions. Pair it with a solid overhead or baitcaster rod rated for metal lures; the Vanfook 4/0 single hook handles solid hooksets on larger fish.
