For nearly a year I’ve been shooting the whole Halco lure range, many thousnads of images later we’re getting close to finishing.

  The original Tilsan Bass dates back to the mid 1990’s and was originally a balsa hand made lure by Australian lure maker Til Martinelo. The original was one of mine and colleagues all time favorite lures for estuary perch, golden perch and bass. Many years ago, Tislan Lures was acquired by Halco Tackle...

New colours in the Halco Laser Pro 190 were released in the later of 2020. Getting exposure and focus perfect every time is always my main goal, not only does it produce the highest quality images, but it saves an enormous amount of time. Before even taking the images all the lures are disassembled,...

The new Halco  Slidog“Trout Envy” colour is gaining a huge following for topwater addicts. Just about a year now with the compact Godox Ad300 Pro’s matched with the ADS85W soft boxes and I’m thoroughly impressed especially for small tabletop work. Being so light and compact makes them easy to quickly adjust angles when mounted...
