This is the original Malosi floating stickbait design, featuring the signature cut mouth and minimal weighting. It is extremely easy to use with an in-built action and can be retrieved in many different ways. Chieftains lures have proven effective for catching a wide range of fish, from XXL Giant Trevally and Kingfish to Tuna, Mackerel, Trout, and many others in between. Thanks to its versatility, strength, and ability to perform in any conditions, it can catch practically anything. This is why it has become the most popular model in our range. Swim Action The Chieftain is different to most traditional floating sticks in that it sits horizontal on the surface at rest and has a natural swim action built in. Requiring next to no effort, this stickbait can be fished all day with ease; sweep, pop or straight retrieve, the Chieftain will dig in just under the surface and swim seductively, even in chop or at heights where most traditional floating stickbaits cannot be used effectively. Sizes 150F - 45g180F - 80g220F - 120g Construction All Master Series blanks are constructed using an innovative two-part process, setting Malosi lures apart with their unique design. Initially, a solid paulownia core is created, incorporating hidden internal weights and 2mm stainless steel 316L wire for enhanced durability. This core is then inserted into a silicone mold, where it is encapsulated in a 2mm thick wall of ABS-like resin. The resulting blank is not only incredibly durable but also hard enough to allow the lure to slide back into a fish's mouth, effectively eliminating the issue of tooth penetration and failed hook sets. Furthermore, the blank's strength is augmented by finishing the lure with multiple layers of tough polyurethane, ensuring protection against even the most toothy fish. Rigging Options Chieftains swim best when rigged with a treble on the belly and single on the back, this combination frees up the action of lure and allows for a wider more aggressive S swim. In general double singles will lighten the lure, giving it a wider more slashing action that is slightly more unstable, where-as adding double trebles will dampen the base action a little due to the weight but has the obvious advantage of more hook points to secure the fish. 150F Double Trebles3/0 Decoy Y-S82 Treble3/0 BKK Raptor Z Double Singles4/0 Shout Ringed Kudako4/0 Shout Short Kudako3/0 Shout Short Double Kudako4/0 BKK Diablo8/0 BKK Crusader Mixed3/0 Decoy Y-S82 Treble3/0 BKK Raptor Z4/0 Shout Ringed Kudako4/0 BKK Diablo Recommended hooks best rigged with 8 Decoy Heavy Split Rings 180F DOUBLE TREBLES4/0 Decoy Y-S82 Treble4/0 BKK Raptor Z DOUBLE SINGLES5/0 Shout Ringed Kudako5/0 Shout Short Kudako4/0 Shout Short Double Kudako5/0 BKK Diablo9/0 BKK Crusader MIXED4/0 Decoy Y-S82 Treble4/0 BKK Raptor Z5/0 Shout Ringed Kudako5/0 BKK Diablo Recommended hooks best rigged with 8 Decoy Heavy Split Rings 220F Double Trebles7/0 Decoy Y-S23 BIG Treble7/0 Gamagatsu 24 GT Recorder5/0 BKK GT Rex Double Singles8/0 Shout Ringed Kudako Hook6/0 Shout Short Double Kudako Hook1/0 BKK Diablo11/0 BKK Crusader Mixed7/0 Decoy Y-S23 BIG Treble7/0 Gamagatsu 24 GT Recorder5/0 BKK GT Rex8/0 Shout Ringed Kudako Hook1/0 BKK Diablo Recommended hooks best rigged with 10 Decoy Heavy Split Rings
