The Zand Finess Delalande is a must-have finesse lure in your tackle box. Originally designed for vertical fishing, it is also very effective for searching for trout, pike, and black bass in various environments.

Our favorite rigging techniques
The Drop Shot approach
This technique makes it possible to animate the Zand Finess at a long distance. Presented at a chosen distance from the bottom, it comes alive on its own due to the current. Its particular shape gives it a subtle swim that will attract even the most wary fish.
Scratch fishing and Texas rigs
The double groove on the body is perfectly adapted to Texas hooks for Carolina rigs. The flattened shape and its V-shaped tail allow the bait to literally hover above the bottom before gently settling.
Surface action for Black Bass
The unique shape of this model is reminiscent of a dragonfly larva. Make it hop on the surface in aquatic plants or let it sink slowly along the banks to trigger attacks from predators like black bass or chub.
Vertical animations and Jigheads
I mainly use the Zand Finess when I’m fishing vertically. This erratic swimming perfectly imitates a wounded or fleeing fish. In winter, a slight undulation is sufficient to produce the attack on lethargic fish.
Targeting large Pelagic fish
The 13cm and 18cm versions are perfect for looking for large fish located between two waters. Using heavy heads like the Fire Eel 40-60gr allows for a beautiful horizontal presentation and a fast sink rate.
