About this lure

The Malosi Vader 260F is a flagship floating stickbait engineered to command attention in New Zealand's big game waters. Built with a unique hybrid construction that encases a buoyant Paulownia wood core within a tough ABS-like resin shell, this 260mm lure offers the perfect blend of liveliness and extreme durability required for targeting massive Kingfish and Tuna.

  • Hybrid Construction – Combines a lively Paulownia wood core with a hard resin outer shell for superior buoyancy and impact resistance.
  • Versatile Action – Delivers a wide S-curve on long sweeps, erratic splashing on twitches, or a seductive subsurface swim on a straight retrieve.
  • Heavy-Duty Wire – Features a 2mm stainless steel through wire to withstand the crushing jaw pressure of trophy pelagics.
  • Long Casting Design – Rear-weighted balance allows for exceptional casting distance, punching through stiff New Zealand coastal breezes.
  • Rigging Versatility – Supplied unrigged to accommodate large trebles or singles depending on your specific target and catch-and-release preference.
