Malosi - Staple Hero 140F
Specifications
About this lure
The Hero 140F is a long-casting floating minnow designed to cover water efficiently and trigger aggressive strikes from predators feeding below the surface. Its streamlined body and internal weight-transfer system deliver excellent casting distance, while the pronounced rolling action and deep rattle create strong flash and vibration on the retrieve. Diving to around 1m, the Hero is ideal when fish are feeding just beneath the surface or when topwater lures aren’t getting attention.

Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
Cast the Hero 140F to cover water efficiently, using a steady retrieve with occasional pauses to trigger strikes from subsurface feeders. The lure's internal weight-transfer system delivers excellent casting distance, allowing you to reach distant feeding zones.
Work it in the top metre of the water column where its pronounced rolling action and deep rattle create flash and vibration that draw aggressive responses.
The floating design makes it ideal when fish are feeding just beneath the surface or when topwater presentations aren't producing.
