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, wires, rings, hooks etc are cleaned and polished to remove any paint and then reassembled...

Creating a lure diving into the water is a bit tricky but add a large super heavy stickbait and then it becomes a real change. The Halco Slidog is heavy, as soon as it hits the water it moves that quick that it’s easy to miss the shot. A few trial runs on getting...

The new Halco “Coral Trout” colour is gaining a huge following especially on the east coast tuna run this winter especially in the Max series.

      The vast majority of lures that I photograph for companies have small or slim profiles, but with the arrival of some lures from the Australian company Halco Tackle, I’ve had some larger broader lures to shoot. Large flat surfaces like found on the Halco Slidog present different challenges in regards to...
