Hard-working Delalande soft lures for river and stillwater spinning
Delalande Chabot is a pre-rigged soft lure with a compact body and a narrow tail section. Its profile resembles a small bottom-dwelling baitfish, making it a good choice for predators feeding on small prey.
The oval paddle tail is positioned at a 90-degree angle, allowing it to start working at very low retrieve speeds. The lure produces strong vibrations and a noticeable body roll, remaining easy to control in both still water and current.
Three-dimensional eyes, clearly defined lips and moulded fins enhance its realistic appearance. Chabot can be retrieved steadily, worked in short hops close to the bottom or fished with controlled lifts and drops. The ready-rigged design eliminates the need to select and fit a separate jig head.
The range includes 5, 7 and 9 cm / 2, 2.8 and 3.5 in models fitted with 5, 9 and 17 g jig heads. The smallest version is well suited to light fishing for trout and perch, while the larger models can also be used for zander and pike.
Natural, dark and high-contrast colour patterns make it possible to match the lure to water clarity, bottom conditions an...

Delalande
The Delalande company, created by Mr Alain Delalande in 1979 was first specialized in the sale of mounted line for coarse fishing. Quickly, the first machines for making jig heads will be purchased and the first softbaits, imported from the United States, arrive on the French market thanks to Delalande.
In the following years, the “mounted line” part is sold in order to devote itself entirely to the jig head and softbait part, in particular with the purchase of a first machine to manufacture lures. The development of the Delalande material is then underway, and the first softbaits are emerging.
It was not until 1995 that the famous Sandra was born, an innovative and affordable lure and above all extremely effective. Today it is one of the softbaits known to all generations of lure fishermen, and is present in all boxes.
Over the years, it is as a family that the company has been managed, both by Alain and his wife, as well as by their children, Tony who manages the production and Sandrine all the management and marketing part.
