Delalande Softbaits: perfectly controlled, perfectly presented

In my fishing, everything revolves around the combination of technique and lure presentation. Even the best technique only works when the lure can be presented cleanly and with control. That’s exactly why I’m so excited about my new collaboration with Delalande. Their softbaits run perfectly: tight, stable, responsive and with exactly the right action to convince zander and perch. You feel it instantly in the rod.

A complete range for my fishing

Delalande offers an extremely complete range of softbaits that allows me to cover all my zander and perch fishing. No gaps, no compromises – just everything I need to fish effectively and get my guests on the fish

In my tackle box for the coming season you’ll find

• Zand Fat

• Zand Curly

• Shad GT

• Zand Finesse

All proven models I trust completely. They run beautifully, last long and deliver a consistently perfect presentation.

Delalande isn’t very well‑known in the Netherlands yet, but my guests and I are going to change that this season – on the water, one softbait at a time.

Experience the effectiveness yourself

You can talk about it all day, but in the end only one thing matters: catching fish. That’s why I invite everyone to experience the effectiveness of these Delalande softbaits on board. You feel the difference immediately – in the action, in the durability and especially in the results.

A brand with history and vision

Delalande is no newcomer. The company was founded in 1979 by Alain Delalande, starting with pre‑rigged leaders. Soon after came the first jigheads and softbaits, and Delalande became one of the pioneers bringing American softbait fishing to Europe.

Sustainable, French and innovative

For me, everything starts with presentation. A lure must run in a way that allows the technique to shine. If a softbait doesn’t run cleanly, even the best technique won’t work. Delalande excels exactly here: material, shape and balance create a controlled, natural and highly effective presentation.

What I also appreciate about Delalande:

• Over 90% of the raw materials come from France, the rest from Europe

• No toxic plasticizers – all softbaits are phthalate‑free

• A unique material formula, refined year after year

• A built‑in crustacean‑based attractant, mixed directly into the material so the scent lasts as long as the lure does

And that’s often a long time – some models are so durable you can catch dozens of zander on a single softbait.

Want to feel for yourself why I’m so excited about this collaboration? Book a trip, step on board and experience the difference.

The Delalande softbaits are ready – the rest we’ll do on the water.
