Description
The Frigate Bird Teaser is one of the boldest and most visually commanding offerings in the Hawaiian Malolo lineup. Designed to create a powerful silhouette and unmistakable contrast on the surface, the Frigate is built to provoke instinctive strikes from aggressive pelagic predators.
Crafted with an all-black glitter body, the Frigate delivers a deep, shadowy profile that stands out against the surface—especially in bright sun, low light, or choppy conditions. Its defining feature is the hand-painted vibrant red underside and chin, a classic strike trigger that mimics the flash of wounded or fleeing prey and ignites predatory reactions.
- All-Black Glitter Body: Creates a strong silhouette and subtle shimmer, making it highly visible from below.
- Hand-Painted Red Underside & Chin: Adds a proven strike trigger that imitates injured baitfish.
- High-Contrast Design: Excels in mixed lighting conditions where bold profiles outperform lighter colors.
- Handcrafted Construction: Built by experienced fishermen for durability, balance, and consistent action.
- Natural Flying Fish (Malolo) Action: Runs on its tail with wings spread, creating realistic surface commotion.
What Fish Are Attracted to the Frigate?
The Frigate Bird Teaser is particularly effective on species that key in on contrast, silhouette, and movement:
- Marlin (Blue, Striped, Black): Drawn to the dark profile and red flash that signals vulnerable prey.
- Sailfish: Respond aggressively to teasers with strong silhouettes and surface disturbance.
- Tuna (Yellowfin, Bigeye, Bluefin): Attracted to the combination of shadow and sudden color flash.
- Wahoo: Known to strike high-contrast lures at speed, especially in clear water.
- Kingfish: Triggered by dark shapes with bright accent flashes.
When to Use the Frigate Teaser
The Frigate shines when:
- Fishing in bright sun or high-glare conditions where dark silhouettes stand out best
- Trolling early morning or late afternoon when contrast is critical
- Running mixed spreads to balance lighter, metallic, or brightly colored teasers
- Targeting surface-feeding predators drawn to shadow-and-flash combinations
- Fishing choppy water where bold profiles cut through surface noise
