Duo Rough Trail Malice 150 – 15cm 70g

Duo Rough Trail Malice 150 – 15cm | 70g: Attack with Absolute Precision

The Duo Rough Trail Malice 150 is the heavy-duty evolution of the Malice series, designed to “attack big predators with malice!” At Gerry’s Fishing, we categorize this as a “heavy-weight sinking press bait” that bridges the gap between a jig and a minnow. If you thought the original 130 was powerful, the new 150 “has to be tried” for its ability to “imitate larger prey” while offering “even better casting ability.“

Weighing in at a substantial 70g, this lure is a “ballistic weapon” engineered for the most demanding saltwater environments where Tuna, Giant Trevally (GT), and large Pelagics roam.

Engineering & Subsurface Action

• Exceptional Casting Performance: The Malice 150 is designed for maximum distance. Its streamlined, aerodynamic body and high-density 70g weight allow you to reach surface boils and feeding frenzies that are far beyond the reach of standard hard baits.

• Beautiful Descent: One of its “key features” is its “slow horizontal falling action.” On the pause, the lure shimmies and flutters as it sinks, perfectly “imitating the movements of wounded prey.” This “deadly” falling action is often when the biggest predators decide to strike.

• Reinforced Integrity: To handle “big predators,” the Malice 150 is built with a reinforced internal frame and heavy-duty wire-through construction. This ensures the lure remains intact even during the “bone-crushing” fights associated with offshore fishing.

• Realistic Profile: The 15cm length provides a significant profile in the water, mimicking large sardines, herrings, and other substantial forage that apex predators key into.

Technical Specifications

Tactical Applications & Animation

The Malice 150 is a “technical tool” that offers more than just distance. The Gerry’s team suggests:

• The “Count-Down” Technique: When predators are holding deep, take advantage of the “beautiful descent.” Count the lure down to the desired depth, allowing that “slow horizontal falling action” to do the work before you even begin your retrieve.

• High-Speed Surface Retrieve: For Tuna and Mackerel, use a fast, straight retrieve to make the lure skip and dart just below the surface. The 70g weight keeps the lure stable even at high speeds, preventing it from cartwheeling out of the water.

• The “Jig & Flutter”: In deep water or over submerged pinnacles, work the Malice 150 like a jig. Use long rod sweeps to lift the lure, then let it fall on a slack line to trigger strikes from Kingfish and Amberjack during the flutter.

• Shore-Based Distance: For shore anglers targeting Bluefish or Bass in extreme conditions, the Malice 150 provides the “exceptional casting performance” needed to punch through heavy headwinds and reach the deep “blue water” marks.

Gerry’s Verdict:

The Duo Rough Trail Malice 150 (15cm/70g) is a “top-tier” sinking lure that combines “ballistic distance” with a “masterfully engineered” falling action. It is a high-value investment for the angler who needs to “attack big predators” with a lure that looks, swims, and falls with absolute realism
