Chieftain
Floating Stickbait
This is the original Malosi floating stickbait design, featuring the signature cut mouth and minimal weighting. It is extremely easy to use with an in-built action and can be retrieved in many different ways.
Chieftain Stickbait
Versatile Performance
Chieftain lures have proven effective for catching a wide range of fish, from XXL Giant Trevally and Kingfish to Tuna, Mackerel, Trout, and many others in between. Thanks to its versatility, strength, and ability to perform in any conditions, it can catch practically anything. This is why it has become the most popular model in our range.
Chieftain Swim Action
Natural & Effortless
The Chieftain is different to most traditional floating sticks in that it sits horizontal on the surface at rest and has a natural swim action built in. Requiring next to no effort, this stickbait can be fished all day with ease; sweep, pop or straight retrieve, the Chieftain will dig in just under the surface and swim seductively, even in chop or at heights where most traditional floating stickbaits cannot be used effectively.
Rigging Options
Chieftains swim best when rigged with a treble on the belly and single on the back, this combination frees up the action of lure and allows for a wider more aggressive S swim. In general double singles will lighten the lure, giving it a wider more slashing action that is slightly more unstable, where-as adding double trebles will dampen the base action a little due to the weight but has the obvious advantage of more hook points to secure the fish.
