DAIWA SHORE SPARTAN POWER SPLASH
Shooting chrome products is all about avoiding reflections, on flat surfaces is a lot easier compared to small round products like fishing lures. Understanding light direction and shaping it to suit is the main method, but also using shift or perspective control lenses help immensely. On small products you can place the camera to the side of the product and shift the lenses to align on the product. This avoids camera/lens reflection, also there’s a lot of other tricks to lighting it correctly, but that’s purely years of experience and understanding light.
The first thing you notice about the range of Daiwa Shore Spartan lures is their unique golf ball dimple structure. This design aids in the baits performance through the air, especially during periods of heavy wind. This makes the Shore Spartan range some of the best casting baits on the market. A heavy-duty construction begins with a 1.8mm thick body, inside the body, an internal rib structure further increases strength.
Featuring a wire-through design, ensuring the fish that bite make it to the boat. The Power Splash is a perfect small cup face popper, capable of spitting a large amount of water to attract predators, however can also be retrieved fast, creating an irresistible bubble trail and enticing wobble. Rigged with #2/0 HD treble hooks and #8 split rings, the Power Splash is ready for action.
