Malosi Minion 65F Shallow Minnow Lure – Micro Bait, Maximum Strike

The Malosi Minion 65F Shallow Minnow Lure is a perfectly balanced, ultra-responsive lure that thrives in skinny water situations. Measuring 65mm and weighing just 5g, the Minion is built to imitate small baitfish or shrimp with pinpoint accuracy, making it a deadly weapon for targeting shallow water ambush predators.

With a diving depth of less than 1 metre, this shallow-running minnow excels over sand flats, rocky shorelines, estuary drop-offs, and mangrove fringes. Whether you’re slow rolling it for a seductive baitfish wiggle or twitching it erratically to mimic a fleeing prawn, the Minion delivers an enticing presentation across a wide range of retrieve styles.

Armed with saltwater-tough BKK 6066-3X #12 treble hooks, this lure is ready to take on flathead, mangrove jack, trevally, tailor, trout, barramundi, bream, and more. And if you're targeting heavier species, you can confidently upsize the hooks without sacrificing swim integrity.

Outfitted with internal rattling weights and best tied via loop knot or uni to the front split ring for unrestricted action, the Malosi Minion 65F is a standout micro-minnow for precision presentations in pressured or clear-water environments.
