Malosi Staple Hero 120F Lure

The Malosi Staple Hero 120F is a heavy-duty 120mm floating minnow built for effortless long casting, combining a pronounced rolling action, deep rattle and 1m running depth for targeting everything from GTs and tuna to barramundi, tailor and reef predators.

The Malosi Staple Hero 120F Lure is designed for anglers who need to cover distance with a hardbody minnow while maintaining an easy-to-use swimming action. Its streamlined 120mm body incorporates an internal long-cast weight transfer system for improved casting distance and accuracy, making it particularly useful when predators are feeding beyond easy casting range.

On the retrieve, the Hero produces a pronounced rolling action backed by a deep rattle designed to attract aggressive predatory fish. The 120F is a floating minnow that runs to approximately 1m, allowing it to be worked across shallower ground and through the upper water column. Dual shell construction, a durable PCB bib and BKK Fangs 4X #2 hooks equip it for demanding Australian lure fishing for GTs, tuna, tailor, flathead, barramundi and reef species.

Expert Advice

The Staple Hero 120F is a strong choice when fish are holding at distance but you still want the controlled action of a floating hardbody rather than a sinking metal. Let the internal weight-transfer system do the work during the cast, then begin with a steady retrieve to bring out the lure's pronounced rolling action and deep rattle. Varying retrieve speed and adding pauses can help when fish are following without committing. Its approximately 1m running depth is particularly useful when working over shallow structure or when predators are feeding higher in the water column. Match your rod, braid and leader to the target species and terrain, especially when casting around barramundi cover, reef edges or powerful pelagics.
