Malosi Marksman Metal Spinning Lure 20g

Compact enough for lighter tackle yet weighted for serious casting distance, the Malosi Marksman 20g is a versatile metal lure for tailor, trevally, flathead and queenfish across flats, jetties and shallow reefs.

The Malosi Marksman Metal Spinning Lure 20g combines a compact 74mm baitfish profile with the casting weight needed to efficiently search estuary and inshore water. Designed for sand flats, rock walls, jetties and shallow reefs, it gives anglers a practical option when predators are chasing smaller bait but casting distance and lure control still matter.

Constructed from zinc alloy with a stated tensile strength of 45kg, the Marksman 20g can be fished with a fast burn, twitched through the water or jigged vertically towards the bottom. It comes fitted with a BKK #4 6066-5X treble hook and offers a versatile metal spinning presentation for aggressive tailor, trevally, flathead, queenfish and other inshore predators.

Expert Advice

The Marksman 20g is a useful size when you want to imitate compact baitfish without sacrificing casting distance. For tailor, trevally and queenfish, start with a fast retrieve and vary the pace until you find the speed the fish want. Around flats and rock walls, add twitches and brief pauses to change the lure's direction and depth. When flathead or other fish are holding closer to the bottom, allow the metal to sink before jigging or retrieving it back through the strike zone. Pair it with a suitably rated spinning rod and choose your braid and leader according to the target species, structure and water conditions.
