Ok I love DUO Spearheads and this new one, the Quattro, a four jointed 70mm minnow is just simply one of the best little trout lures I’ve seen in years. Not much else to say but really looking forward to seeing these in action soon in the Snowy Mountains. This was a simple flatlay...

Motion creates emotion. Modern Mirrorless cameras are simply incredible tools no matter what brand you use.
