Tony Soprano Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 How do you guys normally rig up your hard body lures? I bought a sx48 to try out last night and it says on the pack it is a floating lure... Does this mean that it is only a surface lure or do you add a sinker to push the lure deeper into the water column? If so what sort of weight would be best to not adversely affect the action of the lure and how long a trace, what swivels etc would I need to get this lure to work well for me? Tony..

Jethro Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 (edited) G'day Tony The best way to rig them is tie them directly to the end of your line / leader. Although the SF40's are a floating lure the plastic bib at the front will make the lure dive below the surface when the lure is retrived. I think the SF40's dive to 1 - 1.5m. If you add any sort of weight to the front of the lure it will kill the action As a rule of thumb the bigger the bib the deeper the lure will dive Edited July 8, 2005 by Jethro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken A Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 When I use SX-40's I remove the split ring from the tow point & tie it on using a loop knot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
