Malosi - Marksman 40g
About this lure
The Malosi Marksman 40g is a precision-engineered casting metal designed to dominate New Zealand's coastal waters, from rocky headlands to offshore workups. Built from high-density zinc alloy, this lure offers superior hardness compared to traditional lead metals, making it resilient against harsh rock impacts while delivering exceptional casting distance.
Its asymmetrical, multi-faceted body creates a brilliant flashing swim action at speed and a seductive flutter on the drop, triggering aggressive strikes from predators. Whether you are punching into a headwind for Kahawai or dropping down for Snapper, the Marksman is a versatile essential for every Kiwi angler's tackle box.
- Zinc Alloy Construction – Harder and more durable than lead, perfect for casting onto rocks and reef edges.
- Long-Cast Design – Weight-forward profile allows you to reach distant workups and structure with pinpoint accuracy.
- Flutter-Flash Action – Generates immense flash on a fast burn and an enticing flutter during the sink phase.
- Versatile Application – Effective when burned fast for Kingfish and Tuna or jigged with a pause for Snapper.
- BKK Hardware – Pre-rigged with a heavy-duty BKK #2 Treble 6066-5X for confident hookups on strong fish.

How to fish the Malosi - Marksman 40g
Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
Cast the Marksman 40g to structure-rocky headlands, reef edges, and offshore workups-and work it with a fast, steady retrieve to generate maximum flash and trigger aggressive strikes.
The lure's weight-forward design cuts through headwind and reaches distant marks with precision.
On the drop, pause and allow the asymmetrical body to flutter seductively; this phase often draws strikes from deeper-holding fish.
Vary your cadence: burn it fast in surface workups for active predators, or jig with deliberate pauses over structure for a more methodical approach.
The 40g mass suits both casting distance and controlled depth work in coastal conditions.
