Ecogear SX Series

If one were to ask the membership of AKFF what the most reliable fish-catching lure they owned was - the Ecogear SX40 and its slightly larger, deeper diving brother the SX48 would be at the top of the list. Recently Ecogear released the CK40 - a chubby version of the ever-popular sx40, although it is unclear at this early stage whether it will enjoy the same success as the other lures in the range.

SX lures look like a small baitfish and come in a variety of fish-enticing colours. Both lures have a great 'shimmy' swimming action that can be achieved at very slow trolling speeds.

Both lures are quite light, making the use of small weight, threadline spinning outfits their ideal casting gear.
