The Speed Slim needs no introduction! However, because we always listen to anglers, the Delalande 2023 catalog expands this famous family. Specifically, we now offer a 10cm version perfectly adapted for shore fishing. This novelty brings great pleasure to the fishing community, and I am thrilled to share my experience with it.
A perfect combo for edge fishing
To begin with, this new 10cm version comes in two weights: 5g and 7g. In my opinion, these options cover the two main approaches to shore fishing.
On one hand, the 5g version excels at beach fishing or wading. On the other hand, the 7g version (mounted on an Ange jig head) works best for deeper rocky areas. Consequently, you get a 10/11g combo that maintains a perfect balance. Thus, the lure descends slowly while remaining hovering and attractive to predators. In short, I clearly fell in love with this novelty!
How to animate the new Speed Slim 10cm
Regarding the technique, I recommend a simple linear recovery without hesitation. First, the Speed Slim design naturally favors this movement. Second, linear fishing is safer in shallow, rocky sectors.
The Process: Throw the lure, close the pick-up immediately upon contact with the water, and retrieve. Occasionally, add a light twitch to imitate fleeing prey. Because of the perfect weight ratio, the lure stays in the strike zone instead of sinking like a stone. Remember: although the lure is small, it still catches trophy fish!
Fresh colors for a new season
In addition to the nine existing colors, five new shades arrive this year. While Galactic Pink and Natural Caramel are great, I have two clear favorites for shore fishing:
- • Natural Squale: This color features a pearly white belly and dark blue sides. Actually, it perfectly imitates the forage fish found during the autumn.
- • Green Waka: With purple sides and a green/ayu back, the reflections are impressive. As a result, it mimics Smelts and attracts a huge number of fish.
To conclude, the 10cm Speed Slim is the ideal tool for seaside enthusiasts. Furthermore, our team reports great success in freshwater with Perch and Zander. So, don’t forget to pack this “little candy” for your next session!
