sx40s, 48s or 60s??

[Rex_Hunt]

I was at my local fishing store and i asked him about the sx40s and 48s and 60s. i asked him what would be best for cruising around mangroves and estuary type structures. waht do u guys reckon?

[kez]

yeh i have tried all of those but i recomend the sx40's and sx48's. but the sx40 stands out the most for the bream.

SX60's are also great for bass.

But yeah SX40's are the stand out for bream for sure. Although i cant see why most bream would not just as actively take a 48.

Theres lots of different types of fish and size of fish in mangroves mate. Hence depending on which one your targeting will help choose which one.

sx40:

These will catch you loads of fish. out of the 3 I've used these the most. These will catch you bream, flathead, mangrove jacks(aka gerty's), trevally, butter bream, whiting, cod and many more.

The downside to these is you catch a lot of small fish and not very many big fish.

sx48:

I've used these a good bit as well and I've caught bream(good size), cod, flathead. They would catch mangrove jacks aswell. I also saw someone in the river catch a decent threaddie caught on one.

sx60:

These are my favourite trolling lure and I use them a good bit outta my kayak. These have caught me flathead, cod and one very hopefull bream. These would also catch jacks, threaddies and jews if your lucky.

If your just randomly fishing for different species I would choose the sx40 in goldcoast special. This will catch you loads of different fish and its also the color I've had the most success with.

Cheers

haha yeah gertys jack was mad. haha i landed it so i reckon i get hlaf credit, haha nah jkes. but that fish absolutely smashed his lure. it was gd as gone. ok tru yeah sx40s dont get down that deep so i was thinking about stepping it up to a 48 or 60 so thanx for that info. cheers

Are you his bro?

[Rex_Hunt]

nah im just his mate, was lucky to be fishing with him when he caught that fish.

I may sound stupid to ask this but what brand are the lures you are talking about?

I was at BCF today and could not see them so I bought a Rapala lure that is a deep diver and around 40mm long.

I have only just got my yak and would like to try trolling but need to know more about it,

How much line do i let out?

Do i paddle fast or can i just drift with the tide?

Do i move to the middle of the river or near the edge?

Please help me as i really want to catch something on a lure for the first time

They are Ecogear SX-40/48/60.

As for trolling, troll as slowly as possible!

What the ??? Do you guys have any photos of the seceret weapons?

[STU]

I like the sx 40 caught bream on them

[Tim a]

Heres a pic brian.

On the top is an sx 40, good for bream, flatties and lots of other fish.

On the bottom is the sx60, good trolling lure for bigger fish.

Ipod not included:lol: [img size=455]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/sx40_sx60.JPG

OH I thought they were crank baits - crap I gotta get some they look cool. I've tried the cheap ones but they don't swwim very well.

[Tim a]

They are pretty cool. around $17 each tho. The one on the bottom got me my 1st NPD bass on diving lure this arvo so they can be used in the fresh aswel.

What sort of action does the Ipod have,? are I Pods really a cheaper alternative than a Jackall?

Ipods flutter on the drop nicely, You get a bit extra casting distance from the 8 GB than the 4 GB so I reccomend getting one of them, Got as many colors as jackalls aswell!
