Malosi Echo 65F Walking Pencil Lure – Surface Strikes Made Simple

The Malosi Echo 65F Walking Pencil Lure brings topwater action to life with a highly exaggerated walk-the-dog movement and crisp surface presence. Designed to provoke aggressive strikes from estuarine and inshore predators, this 65mm, 4.6g surface pencil is an essential tool for anglers chasing whiting, bream, flathead, jacks, tailor, and reef fish like trout and trevally.

Balanced to perfection, the Echo responds to both traditional tip-down retrieves and vertical, finesse-style twitches. Its large cupped face relative to body size enables everything from subtle bloops to explosive pops, allowing you to adapt your presentation based on water clarity, surface chop, or fish mood.

Outfitted with saltwater-tough BKK 6066-3X #12 trebles, it also supports micro assist hook upgrades on the rear for added flash or enhanced hookup ratios. Best worked with a loop knot to maximise side-to-side glide, the Echo is your go-to for versatile and effective topwater presentations across flats, mangroves, and reef shallows.

FAQs
Q: What is the Echo's primary action?
A: The Echo excels at “walk-the-dog” side-to-side action with subtle rattles and surface flicks. It can also be popped vertically for aggressive strikes.

Q: Can the Echo be fished in clear or calm water?
A: Yes. Its versatile action allows for quiet surface disturbance when finesse is needed, or louder bloops and splashes in choppy water.

Q: Can I swap the trebles for assist hooks?
A: Absolutely. Rear micro assist hooks can be added for extra flash and better hook-up ratios, especially in pressured waters.

Q: Is it effective on reefs and estuaries?
A: Yes. The Echo is deadly over sand flats, mangrove edges, rock bars, and reef shallows targeting a wide range of topwater feeders.

Q: What knot should I use for the best action?
A: A loop knot to the front split ring is recommended for unrestricted swim and walk-the-dog motion.
