Pre-rigged Delalande shads for bottom fishing and strong currents
Delalande Swat Shad is a pre-rigged soft lure available in sizes from 7 to 15 cm / 2.8 to 5.9 in. A wide choice of jig head weights makes it suitable for shallow water and gentle retrieves, as well as strong currents, deeper venues and saltwater fishing.
The triangular body profile helps the lure maintain a stable course, while the flexible tail and wide paddle produce strong vibrations and move plenty of water. Swat Shad swims consistently during steady retrieves, close-to-bottom presentations and longer lifting movements.
The soft body is connected to the weighted head by a jointed mounting, giving the lure greater freedom of movement. A belly slot helps position the Texas-style hook correctly, while the back groove allows the hook point to remain concealed. This reduces snagging around rocks, vegetation and other underwater cover.
Swat Shad can be retrieved steadily, worked in hops along the bottom or presented vertically. The smaller, lighter versions are well suited to perch and zander, while the larger models can be used for pike, catfish and powerful saltwater predators suc...

Natural, high-contrast and bright colour patterns allow the lure to be matched to water clarity, bottom conditions and the current feeding activity of predatory fish.
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.
