Maria Legato Stickbait F165

The latest addition to Maria’s popular topwater stickbait lures for 2022, available in samller size, the Legato F165. The new F165 has excellent castability with the moving weight system to be able to reach schools of fish which are further out whilst maintaining a smaller profile to entice fussy eaters. 

Designed as a stickbait that’s easy to swim with a simple straight retrieve or wind and twitch to keep the fish interested. The action presented by the Legato is a tight, rolling and flashing action when they are not active and not responding to pauses. With bright and calm days in mind the legato is effective when the fish are also shut down and is a key lure to keep in the arsenal. 

Following on from the success of the casting system on the Maria Boar and Maria Duckdive the Legato also has the weight moving system to maximise casting abilities. 

The shape of the body with the dimpled sides works well with high speed retrieves causing irregular sliding action to entice the attack from pelagics.
