Malosi Minion 95 & Micro Echo 95 – The Ultimate Inshore Lures

If you’re chasing estuary and inshore predators in Australia, the release of the new Malosi Minion 95 and Malosi Micro Echo 95 is something you don’t want to miss. These two lures are designed to cover both sub-surface and topwater fishing, giving anglers a complete system for targeting species like flathead, barramundi, mangrove jack, trevally, bream, and more.

Now available at TackleWest, these new 95mm models offer the perfect balance of size, action, and versatility for Australian conditions.

Why the Malosi 95 Range Is a Game Changer

The 95mm size is one of the most effective lure sizes for Australian fishing. It’s large enough to attract quality fish, but still matches the profile of common baitfish found in estuaries and coastal systems.

Both the Malosi Minion 95 and Micro Echo 95 are built with this in mind, giving anglers the ability to target a wide range of species in different water conditions.

Whether you're fishing:

  • Shallow flats

  • Rock bars

  • Mangrove edges

  • Estuary drains

These lures are designed to perform.

Malosi Minion 95 – Subsurface Precision

The Malosi Minion 95 is a shallow-diving hardbody lure designed to mimic injured baitfish just below the surface.

Key Benefits:

  • Tight rolling action on a steady retrieve

  • Erratic darting action when twitched

  • Ideal for fishing structure and shallow water

  • Perfect for targeting ambush predators

This lure excels when worked along drop-offs, weed edges, and structure, where species like flathead and mangrove jack are waiting to strike.

When to Use the Minion 95:

  • When fish are holding deeper (sub-surface)

  • In slightly dirty or choppy water

  • Around structure where fish are sitting tight

If you’re looking for a reliable shallow diving lure for estuary fishing in Australia, the Minion 95 is a must-have.

Malosi Micro Echo 95 – Topwater Action

The Malosi Micro Echo 95 is a surface walking lure designed to deliver explosive topwater strikes. Featuring an exaggerated walk-the-dog action, it’s incredibly easy to use and highly effective.

Key Benefits:

  • Wide, side-to-side surface action

  • Easy to work for all skill levels

  • Ideal for calm conditions and shallow water

  • Creates aggressive reaction strikes

There’s nothing better than watching a fish explode on a surface lure, and the Micro Echo 95 is built specifically for that experience.

When to Use the Echo 95:

  • Early morning or late afternoon

  • Calm, clear water conditions

  • When fish are actively feeding on the surface

For anglers chasing topwater fishing in Australia, this lure delivers both performance and excitement.

The Perfect Combo for Estuary Fishing

One of the biggest advantages of the Malosi 95 range is how well these two lures work together.

  • Start with the Micro Echo 95 to target active fish on the surface

  • Switch to the Minion 95 when fish move deeper or become less aggressive

This approach allows you to cover the entire water column, dramatically increasing your chances of success.

Target Species

Both lures are highly effective for a wide range of Australian species, including:

  • Flathead

  • Barramundi

  • Mangrove Jack

  • Trevally

  • Bream

  • Estuary cod

Their size, action, and versatility make them ideal for both beginner and experienced anglers.
