Delalande Shads a great alternative

Below are the brand new110mm buster shads in pearl and blue i know a lot of UK anglers seem to be reluctant to use these French made Plastics but i can assure you that fished in the correct way at the right time these delalande shads are deadly picking out the larger fish too on many occasions for me,,i rig the shads with a 2/0 hook joined to a channelle 5g to 30g ball lead head this is a articulated head that gives the shad its very attractive action,,,

the channelle heads come in various sizes 5 to a pack of 5g,7g,10g,12g,15g,18g,20g,25g,30g
the golden rule with these action baits is to use as light a ball head as your fishing conditions will allow this enhances the action

Below ,a Mega Bass spindle worm that nailed fish from Chesil Beach with a 30g max ball channelle articulated head to a 2/o vaviras hook,,just check out the pebble damage on the head as the lure was bounced up the steep shingle banks of the Dorset Beaches

Delalande fury shad with a twinpoint hook attaced to the lead head this rig up will increase your hook up rate superb presentation of a plastic bait is created when these lures are fished on rough ground in and out of cavernous holes where the Bass and other species lurk,

Here is a example of a 130mm GT Shad with the single vaviras 3/0 large mouth hook connected to the old faithfull articulated head,a little drop of super glue will make this rig up complete sticking the shad to the ball lead,,

designed to imitate sea trout and mullet this lure fishes at its best in estuarys by what i call a trotting method do not cast these shads and retrieve ,cast and hold in the flowing water then holding your rod in the air start letting line off and stop checking every so often,just like trotting a float down a river keep control of the shad in the flowing water,,even when the shad is stopped in the water it will still be working in the flowing water , as i have said use as light a head as possible for the best results,,,

Finally the pearl delalande with the deadly 2/0 twin point hooks all ready for action,,this lure costs around £3.25p complete for a professional bit of kit now that is value in the day of the twenty pound lure
