The advantage of drop-shot fishing is that you can do deep fishing with very small lures, or finely catch fish that are reluctant to lures. The drop shot will allow you to fish with a lure taken off from 20 to 50cm. You must work the lure in small pulses on the spot or by slowly brought back to different levels of depth without taking the lead off the bottom. You then obtain an unstoppable technique for predators not very active because the fish hardly feels any resistance during the engammage.
The Drop Shad has been specially designed for this type of fishing and finesse fishing.
Its 3 notches at ¾ of the lure and its very fine tail emit irresistible vibrations during impulses. Drop Shot weights are available in a long shape to fit through crowded areas and in a classic round shape.
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.
