Product Description
Rise of the Vader.
The Malosi Vader 220F is a commanding floating stickbait designed for maximum draw power and brutal surface eats. At 220 mm, Vader moves serious water while keeping a natural roll and glide that convinces the wariest GTs, tuna and kingfish. Cast it long, sweep with authority and let Vader’s flash-roll and bubble trail keep predators locked on. Ships unrigged, allowing you to dial buoyancy and action through your hook set-up.
- Big water presence: 220 mm body pushes bulk water and holds visibility in chop.
- Flash-roll sides: wide flanks throw light on sweeps, drawing fish from distance.
- Natural glide: floats level and transitions smoothly from sweep to roll to pause.
- Weight-forward design: rockets casts long and stable, even in strong winds.
- Hook-tuneable: run heavy trebles for grip or inline singles for control and weed resistance.
Tip: keep pauses deliberate. Vader’s float + roll often triggers eats as it sits high in the strike zone.
Sweep ? Roll ? Glide ? Pause. The Vader creates a wide, slashing S-curve with dense bubble trails when swept, and an erratic, splashing porpoise action when twitched. It also swims seductively just below the surface with a tip-down, straight retrieve at a controlled speed. For a large, responsive floating stickbait with a commanding presence, the Vader is the lure you need to be throwing.
The Vader has been designed to accomodate a range of different rigging configurations, giving anglers the versitality they need to customize this lure for a range of fishing conditions and target species. The 260 size can accommodate the largest hooks from any brand, making it an excellent choice when pursuing huge trophy fish around world.
