Placed fishing reel/rod in the background with the Daredevil lure in foreground. (I used white foam-board for base & background).
Editing: Used clone tool to tone down a bright spot/reflection on the upper-right area of the fishing reel, as well as another small spot on the handle of the reel. I also cloned out two very small spots on the hook, and a small area of red glare on lure. - Performed slight levels and color adjustments, sharpened, resized, and bordered.

very nice composition. I like your foxus being on the hook. the reel blurred in the background adds nicely to the balance of the image and provides good context. I wish your tones we a little better though, with the whites being brighter, but I'd still give it an 8. well done.
good choice of rod and reel ...excellent dof..well composed...I personally used that combination of rod and reel for 50 years...with great results.Getting back to the photo..no overblown highlights..shine without glare. . great angles..well done.
