Malosi Minion 80F Shallow Minnow Lure

A deadly shallow-water hardbody lure with an enticing rolling action designed to trigger aggressive strikes from estuary and inshore predators.

The Malosi Minion 80F Shallow Minnow Lure is a versatile floating shallow diver built for anglers targeting fish feeding high in the water column. Measuring 80mm and weighing 7.6g, the Minion delivers a highly responsive swim action that excels around flats, rock walls, mangroves, canals and shallow reef systems.

Designed in Australia and fitted with premium BKK 6066-3X hooks, the Minion combines durability, casting performance and fish-catching action into one compact profile. Its balanced internal weighting system creates a seductive wobble on slow retrieves while also allowing sharp twitches and pause presentations that imitate wounded baitfish or fleeing prawns.

This shallow minnow lure is ideal for targeting Australian species such as bream, flathead, trevally, tailor, bass, whiting, mangrove jack and estuary perch. Whether you are working shallow estuary edges or clear coastal flats, the Minion’s natural swimming action and subtle rattles help draw reaction bites when fish are feeding cautiously.

Best fished using a loop knot or connected to the front split ring with a uni knot, the Minion achieves unrestricted movement and maximum swim action. Available now with fast shipping Australia wide from Anglers Warehouse.
