The Neo Shallow is a lure which, as its name suggests, was developed specifically for stalking in “shallow” areas. These shallow areas, often filled with seagrass beds, are sometimes home to large predators such as black bass and pike.
Its stocky body is split to accommodate a large Texan developed specifically for this lure under which there is a fairly light lead which serves as a keel, like a sailboat.
Thanks to its density and weight, the neo-shallow launches far and is very resistant to pike teeth, it is also skippered very well, which allows you to find fish deep in the vegetation.
This year the 9cm size is shaping up to be a real black bass and big perch, and can be launched using a medium power rod.
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.
