Malosi Staple Chieftain 150F

Built to draw explosive strikes from GTs, kingfish, tuna and big reef predators when surface action matters most.

The Malosi Staple Chieftain 150F is a high-performance floating stickbait made for serious topwater anglers chasing hard-hitting pelagics and reef species. Designed for long casts, precision control and highly responsive action, it shines in bluewater, reef edges, pressure points and current lines where predators hunt aggressively near the surface.

Rear-weighted for maximum distance and stability, the Chieftain delivers a seductive S-swim on a wide sweep and an aggressive slash when popped or stabbed. Its cupped mouth throws a sharp plume of water as it dives, adding noise and flash that provoke instinctive reaction bites from wary fish. Whether you prefer sweeping, twitching, burning or rapid cadence retrieves, this lure stays in the zone and holds its track even in chop and wind.

A proven performer for GTs, Spanish mackerel, longtail tuna, yellowtail kingfish and large inshore bruisers, the Chieftain gives anglers a refined, confidence-driven topwater presentation with the power to handle brutal fights. Perfect your presentation and hook your next trophy fish with confidence.

Yes. Its strong hardware, long-cast weight system and aggressive S-swim make it ideal for GTs on reefs and offshore bommies.

What rod and line setup works best with this floating stickbait?
A 7'6"–8' PE4–8 topwater rod with 50–80lb braid and a quality leader gives excellent control, casting distance and power for large pelagics.

Can the Chieftain be worked effectively in rough water?
Absolutely. The rear weight and cupped mouth help it track cleanly and stay visible even when surface conditions are choppy.

What retrieves produce the best results?
Sweeping produces a wide, natural S-swim, while popping, stabbing or burning creates chaos that often triggers aggressive reaction bites.
