The Chieftain is the original Malosi floating stickbait design. Featuring the signature cut mouth and minimal weighting, it sits horizontal on the surface unlike a lot of other floating sticks that rest tail down. 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 stick-baits cannot be used effectively. This lure is crafted from solid Paulownia encapsulated in a hard resin shell, with 2mm stainless steel through wire and multiple layers of tough protective coating for the ultimate durability.
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.
