Since I thought I would be fishing our first club boat match of the year tomorrow, and trying out Snatchers lures - I took some photos of them incase they didn't return.

Just snap shots of them really, no fancy lighting or camera work, so photos arent that great - a little soft.





The 30mph Southerly wind though means I doubt I will be at sea tomorrow.

For just a "snapshot" you make them look superb.

Cant wait to give mines a try on the pollack an bass this year :cool:

They look very fishable.

Looking forward to trying mine out .

Best of luck in the comp Gillies.Tremendous clarity on that close up photo.
What model of camera is it and any tips for young Snatcher when he is taking photographs?

Nice looking lure

Snatcher - just wondered how difficult would it be to incorporate a blade ABOVE the lure - such as

this

Just put the lure on my desk, put off all the lights so just had the dull light of whats coming in the window, and used a longish expsoure.

If young snatchers camera has creative modes (Av,Tv,M etc) then what I did was put camera on tripod, put into AV mode of around 5.0 and that took an exposure of 20 seconds since it was dark. (so a long exposure on a tripod to make colours in lure more naturaly highlighted without using external light)

The other way of doing it, I would suggest is to use the Macro mode on the camera (wee flower symbol on most compacts) and have good light, but watch for shadows that are to nasty - should hopefully get a nice clear shot even handheld.

I shot with a Canon 20D and a 50mm F1.8 lens.

KennyC easiest way would be to buy the rig complete,cut off the muppet and then tie up your own lure. I wonder how effective they are?
