MALOSI VADER 220F
The Malosi Vader 220F is an iconic, large-profile floating stickbait engineered in Australia for elite topwater anglers targeting ultimate ocean apex predators: trophy Giant Trevally (GT), Kingfish, and massive Tuna. Featuring an incredibly responsive design, the Vader 220F starts swimming instantly, delivering a seductive, wide action that coaxes giant pelagics into striking from the deep.
Advanced Design Features
Signature S-Swim Action: On a steady sweep, the lure cuts through the water in a wide, sweeping "S" pattern, combined with a heavy belly-rolling movement that emits strong, water-displacing vibrations.
Long-Distance Aero Ballistics: Engineered to punch straight through harsh coastal headwinds, the tail-weighted balance ensures maximum casting distance and bullet-like accuracy on the reefs.
Master Series Hybrid Blank: Built with a natural Paulownia wood core for perfect buoyancy, encapsulated within a 2mm thick heavy-duty ABS-like resin outer armor to prevent structural failure from crushing jaw bites.
Heavy-Duty Through-Wire System: Reinforced with an internal 2mm marine-grade 316L stainless steel through-wire structure, built to handle locked-drag battles with zero compromise.
10-Layer Hard Finish: Sealed under 10 protective coats of high-gloss polyurethane lacquer, preserving the premium foil work against sharp teeth and coral rash.
Swim & Action Guide
Long Sweeping Retrieve: Drives the stickbait to submerge, pulling an initial bubble envelope, followed by a wide subsurface S-curve swim before buoyancy brings it back to the surface on the pause.
Short Snappy Twitches: Produces a frantic, erratic side-to-side subsurface walk, mimicking an injured or panicking baitfish trying to escape.
