Seaflacon’s Ultra Real Squid is an interesting design, there’s never really been a hybrid squid design like this, incorporating a hard body with a silicone skirt. Available in sinking and floating, it opens up a whole new big game casting style. Camera: Nikon Z9 Lens: NIKKOR PC-E Micro Nikkor 85mm f2.8D with FTZ II...

DAIWA INFEET X

Studio Product - Fishing Reels

No comment

These Daiwa Infeet reels literally arrived days before the Daiwa 2022 catalogue was going to print, and they were final samples so needed a fair bit of work to get them cleaned up for catalogue and web. In the end they look great and compliment the rod series...

BLOOP! – HALCO ROOSTER POPPER 195 HAYMAKER

By Bradley Sissins

No comment

Th Halco Rooster popper 195 Haymaker creates one hell of a splash, there was plenty of water all around the studio when I shot this lure for a Halco promotion. Large poppers are one of the easiest lures to shoot in tanks. For this I used a deep long tank, three light setup, black...

Though product shots for catalogues, websites, brochures etc are my stable photography, its nice to now and then to mix it up a bit.

HALCO TWISTY DEEP DIVE

By Bradley Sissins

Studio - Halco

No comment

The Halco Twisty is a heavy metal lure, not the ideal subject for underwater dive photos. This one was a real challenge, the small size and heavy weight made this lure sink so quick that is was difficult to get the shot, not only the speed but also so the hook, split rings...

The Daiwa TD Zero rod range I think would be the longest running series that I have shot for catalogues, with the original models I shot back in the mid to late 90’s. The graphics are similiar oon the latest model but I still have a...

DAIWA BAITJUNKIE KIKKER CURLY

By Bradley Sissins

Studio Product - Daiwa Lures

No comment

Soft plastic lures especially the new generation of super flex plastics, like the new Daiwa Baitjunkie Kikker Curly, create new challenges. Soft plastic lures can be a real challenge to get them all looking straight and all appendages in the same angle, not only that, they attract every possible bit of dust...

Studio Product - Fishing Rods

Fishing rods are one of the hardest items I do to get perfect. The combination of a slim tubular items with multiple colors, metals, cork or eva etc make it challenging, add some holographic paint, seen in the reel seats of these rods, and its an all new challenge. ...
