This lure is a real fish catcher – anything that feeds towards the surface or feeds in the top 6 foot eats the SX 48F.
Saltwater – bream, flathead, travelly, tarpon, barra, mangrove jack, estuary cod, and most reef species like corral trout, snapper, sweetlips etc.
Freshwater – bass, golden perch, trout, cod, redfin, silver perch, barra, mangrove jack, tarpon, and most species that live in the shallows.

This lure is a back-up to the SX 40. The 48 covers the next depth range where the 40 cannot reach (5 to 6 foot). This lure can be used in many different situations from shallow flats, snags to just about any structure that presents itself.

Cast the SX as close as possible to the structure as possible, work the lure past the structure with pauses as the lure passes the structure.

Long repetitive casts, working the lure across the shallows, targeting gaps in the weed or subtle depth changes in the bottom. Slow constant retrieves with occasional pauses to allow the lure to rise to the surface work well.
