How to fish the Malosi - Minion 65F
Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
The Minion 65F is a shallow-diving floating minnow that excels in estuaries, flats, and freshwater streams.
Cast it over weed beds, oyster racks, and sand flats, then work it with a slow roll for a tight, seductive wobble, or use sharp twitches to trigger erratic darting action.
Its 5 g weight and shallow dive to less than 1 metre make it ideal for targeting fish in tight cover without snagging.
The internal rattle attracts strikes in murky water, while the Vanfook trebles ensure solid hook-ups on aggressive takes from Snapper, Trevally, Kahawai, and Trout.
