MALOSI CRUSADER 180M
The Malosi Crusader 180M is a premium, heavy-duty floating sub-surface minnow designed for targeting apex saltwater predators close to the surface, especially when rough topwater conditions make standard stickbaits ineffective. Born from the passion of Australian brothers Jon and Niko, this masterfully engineered timber lure is built to withstand brutal battles with GT, tuna, kingfish, and reef species.
Master Series Craftsmanship
Solid Paulownia Core: Handcrafted using a natural wood core that provides optimal buoyancy, responsiveness, and an organic swimming signature.
Heavy-Duty Resin Shell: The timber core is encapsulated within an ultra-tough, 2mm-thick ABS-like resin outer layer to protect against crushing jaw pressure.2.0mm
Through-Wire: Reinforced with a continuous 2mm 316L stainless steel through-wire system for ultimate structural integrity.
10-Layer PU Top Coat: Finished with 10 protective layers of polyurethane to ensure outstanding paint durability and a long-lasting gloss.
Swim Action & Retrieval
The Sweep: A hard rod sweep forces the Crusader to dive just below the surface, producing a distinct, low-frequency "thudding" action that triggers aggressive strikes.
Straight Retrieve: On a slow, steady retrieve, it exhibits a seductive side-to-side rolling flash.
Sub-Surface Tracking: Featuring a short bibbed nose, the lure securely locks into the water column and tracks beautifully just beneath the surface, regardless of rough swells or fast retrieval speeds.
