Malosi - Atom 60P
About this lure
The Malosi Atom 60P proves that big commotion doesn't require a large footprint. This 60mm surface popper is engineered for New Zealand's light tackle enthusiasts who target wary estuary and inshore species like Kahawai and Trevally. Its micro-profile allows for pinpoint casting accuracy into tight structure or shallow flats, while the disproportionately large cup face generates a significant acoustic presence.
Constructed from high-grade ABS with a dual-shell design, the Atom 60P is built to withstand aggressive strikes despite its compact size. Whether you are working it with subtle gloops in calm harbours or ripping sharp pops to call fish up from the depths, this lure delivers versatility for finesse topwater presentations.
- Responsive Action – Delivers everything from explosive surface pops to subtle, finessed gloops depending on rod work.
- Micro Profile – The compact 60mm body offers a small target that matches local baitfish, perfect for matching the hatch in NZ estuaries.
- Casting Performance – Weighted at 7.5g for surprising distance and accuracy, allowing you to reach feeding schools without spooking them.
- Dual Shell Construction – High-grade ABS material ensures the lure handles the impact of aggressive strikes from Kahawai and Trevally.

How to fish the Malosi - Atom 60P
Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
The Atom 60P excels in shallow estuary and inshore flats where wary fish demand finesse.
Cast tight to structure and work the lure with your rod tip: subtle gloops in calm conditions create gentle disturbance, while sharper pops on a faster retrieve call fish up from deeper pockets.
Match your retrieve to conditions. In calm harbours, use slow, deliberate pops with pauses to let the ripples settle-this triggers cautious takes.
In rougher water or when targeting active fish, rip the rod sharply to generate louder pops and draw strikes from distance. The lure's responsive design rewards varied cadence, so experiment between explosive bursts and finessed twitches until fish respond.
Its compact 60mm profile and 7.5g weight allow precise placement into tight spaces without spooking shallow-water Kahawai and Trevally.
