Malosi Staple Chieftain 190F Floating Stickbait Lure

A powerful long-casting floating stickbait designed to trigger brutal surface strikes from GT, tuna, kingfish and mackerel with aggressive slashing action and explosive topwater presence.

The Malosi Staple Chieftain 190F is a premium floating stickbait built for serious topwater anglers targeting large pelagic predators in demanding offshore conditions. Designed in Australia and tested around the world, the Chieftain delivers the perfect balance of casting distance, control and aggressive action needed to trigger strikes from powerful fish.

With its rear-weighted design, the Chieftain casts long and accurately, allowing anglers to reach distant bait schools, reef edges and pressure points where big predators patrol. Once in the water, the lure offers exceptional versatility, producing a seductive wide “S” swimming action when swept, explosive surface slashes when popped or stabbed, and frantic reaction bites when twitched and burned.

The distinctive cup mouth adds another layer of attraction by throwing water forward as the lure dives and slashes across the surface. This splash and disturbance mimics fleeing baitfish and creates chaos on the surface that predators find difficult to ignore.

Constructed with durable dual-shell body construction and fitted with heavy-duty BKK hardware, the Chieftain is designed to withstand brutal strikes and long battles with powerful fish. Whether worked slowly to tempt cautious fish or aggressively to fire up feeding packs, this versatile stickbait is a core weapon in any serious topwater arsenal.

If you're chasing explosive topwater strikes from GT, tuna, mackerel or kingfish, the Malosi Staple Chieftain 190F delivers the casting distance, control and surface action needed to make predators commit.
