Loto

With wood at the heart of our Signature Series lure, we set out to highlight its natural beauty in every detail. The ‘Loto’ was crafted to let the wood shine first and foremost. Featuring our signature pattern design, we’ve carefully selected a paint and decal palette that enhances and complements the raw, organic character of the timber. The ‘Loto’ is a true tribute to the unique strength and beauty of natural wood.

The Vader 220F

The Vader is more traditional in design featuring a single, carefully balanced rear weight and a buoyant timber body assembled in two halves. Experienced anglers will appreciate the responsiveness and range of different finesse actions this floating stickbait can perform; from straight retrieve, reverse jig and stabbing jerk, to long soft sweeps, the Vader can produce some seriously alluring S action, surface splashing, and dense bubble trails as it dives.

Master Innovations

Crafted Performance

All Signature Series blanks are constructed using an innovative two-part process, setting Malosi lures apart with their unique design. Initially, a solid paulownia core is created, incorporating hidden internal weights and 2mm stainless steel 316L wire for enhanced durability. This core is then inserted into a silicone mold, where it is encapsulated in a 2mm thick wall of ABS-like resin.

The resulting blank is not only incredibly durable but also hard enough to allow the lure to slide back into a fish's mouth, effectively eliminating the issue of tooth penetration and failed hook sets. Furthermore, the blank's strength is augmented by finishing the lure with multiple layers of tough polyurethane, ensuring protection against even the most toothy fish.

Exclusivity Certified

Elegance Unboxed

Your prized Signature Series lure will be presented in a custom timber box, securely protected within a luxurious velvet bag. Also included are a Certificate of Authenticity and a stainless steel rod, which can be used to display your lure elegantly. Only the best for the Signature Series, our most esteemed collection.
