Malosi Staple Hero 140F Lure

The Malosi Staple Hero 140F is a heavy-duty 140mm floating minnow built to reach distant predators, combining long-casting performance, a pronounced rolling action and deep rattle for serious pelagic and predatory fishing.

The Malosi Staple Hero 140F Lure is an easy-to-use hardbody designed for anglers targeting powerful predators at range. Its streamlined 140mm profile and internal long-cast weight transfer system help generate distance and accuracy, making it particularly useful when pelagics are feeding away from the boat or shore.

Once in the water, the Hero 140F produces a pronounced rolling action backed by a deep rattle to create an attention-grabbing presentation.

Expert Advice

The Hero 140F is a strong option when you need the profile of a larger hardbody combined with the ability to reach predators holding at distance. Start with a steady retrieve to activate its pronounced rolling action and deep rattle, then experiment with changes of speed and pauses when fish follow without committing. Its floating design can also help when working around shallower structure, as pauses allow greater control over the lure's position. Match your spinning rod to the 35g lure weight and choose braid and leader appropriate to the size of the predators and terrain you are fishing.
