The Speed Slim is a shad with a thin and elongated body that has a big paddle! The main advantage of this morphology is its ability to swim at very slow speed! Indeed the Speed Slim is very effective on slow fishing, in fresh water as well as at sea, whether it is scratch fishing or vertical fishing for perch and zander, but also for seabass!
The shape of its paddle, however, allows it not to stall during fast animations, which makes it a very good lure for fishing in traction or on the fly at sea, but also a very effective lure on fast fishing to dart in fresh water, in particular thanks to the pointed head on which it is mounted: the Ange jighead!
The versatility of the speed slim and its ease of being “enclosed” by predators make it a formidable lure for all types of fishing and all species, in particular since it is available in 3 different sizes for 6 different weights, there is thus always a speed slim adapted to the fishing of the day and the place!

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.
