Delalande shads with a strong rolling action for jigging and steady retrieves
Delalande Shad GT is a soft lure with a substantial body and broad paddle tail, designed for zander, pike and other predatory fish. Its distinctive profile creates a pronounced rolling action that remains clearly visible even during a slow retrieve.
The tail starts working at low speed, allowing the Shad GT to be retrieved slowly and close to the bottom. At higher speeds or during stronger lifts, the action becomes more aggressive, while the rear section of the body swings noticeably from side to side.
The lure performs well on a classic jig head, both when worked on the drop and during a steady retrieve. Its action remains clear with different jig-head weights and shapes, making it easier to adapt the rig to the depth and conditions of the fishing spot.
The smaller models can be used for zander, black bass and medium-sized pike. The largest versions are particularly suitable for targeting big pike and other predators feeding on larger baitfish.
The range includes 9, 11, 13, 15, 18, 22 and 28 cm / 3.5, 4.3, 5.1, 5.9, 7.1, 8.7 and 11 in models. Their unrigged weights are 6, 12, 19...

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.
