Mahimahi

Description

The Mahimahi Bird Teaser is a vibrant, high-energy addition to the Hawaiian Malolo lineup, designed to mirror the unmistakable colors and movement of one of the ocean’s most aggressive predators. Built to create surface commotion and visual flash, this teaser combines bold green tones with natural iridescence to deliver a presentation that predators instantly recognize as prey.

Featuring vibrant green wings and a lemony-green body, the Mahimahi is accented with a mother-of-pearl shell insert that reflects light with depth and realism. This colorway closely mimics the natural hues of mahi mahi and the baitfish they pursue, making it a deadly choice in tropical and offshore environments.

Key Features:

• Green Wings & Lemony-Green Body: Bright, natural coloration designed to stand out in clear blue water and tropical conditions.
• Mother-of-Pearl Shell Insert: Adds lifelike shimmer and iridescence, mimicking the flash of real baitfish scales.
• High-Visibility Design: Creates strong surface presence and visual attraction from a distance.
• Handcrafted Construction: Built by experienced fishermen for durability, balance, and consistent action.
• Natural Flying Fish (Malolo) Profile: Runs on its tail with wings spread wide, producing realistic fleeing action and surface commotion.

What Fish Are Attracted to the Mahimahi?

The Mahimahi Bird Teaser is especially effective for species that respond to bright color, flash, and surface movement:

• Mahi Mahi (Dorado): Naturally drawn to green and yellow tones that mirror their environment and prey.
• Tuna (Yellowfin, Bigeye, Bluefin): Attracted to the reflective shell insert and energetic surface action.
• Marlin (Blue, Striped, Black): Respond to the combination of flash, color, and fleeing flying fish silhouette.
• Wahoo: Known to strike flashy teasers that track cleanly at speed.
• Sailfish: Triggered by bright, realistic surface disturbance.

When to Use the Mahimahi Teaser

The Mahimahi excels when:

• Fishing clear, tropical waters where bright green hues remain highly visible
• Trolling in sunny conditions that amplify shell insert flash
• Targeting fish around weed lines and floating debris where mahi mahi and tuna feed
• Running colorful spreads to complement blues, metallics, and darker teasers
• Needing a high-energy visual attractor to pull fish up from depth
