Zand Curly

Zand Curly: a zander lure for slow fishing

The Zand Curly is a Zand Curly zander lure mainly designed for freshwater fishing. Versatile and effective, it works particularly well with linear retrieves and slow presentations. Its thin and flexible tail ends with a veil-shaped paddle that starts moving with the slightest movement.

This design allows the Zand Curly to keep working almost when stationary. Its smooth and natural action creates subtle vibrations that attract predators. It is particularly effective with a stop & go retrieve, especially when fish are inactive or cautious.

A tail that stays active at very slow speeds

The main strength of the Zand Curly is its ability to remain active at very low speeds. Its veil-shaped paddle continues to work during slow retrieves and even when the lure is almost stationary.

This subtle action allows the lure to remain in the strike zone for longer. As a result, the Zand Curly is particularly well suited to slow zander fishing, while it can also attract pike, especially with the 24 cm version in shallow water.

12, 16 and 24 cm for different situations

The Zand Curly is available in 12, 16 and 24 cm. These different sizes make it possible to adapt the lure to fish activity and fishing conditions. The 12 and 16 cm sizes are particularly suitable for targeting zander, while the 24 cm version provides a larger profile for targeting pike.

To preserve its action, the unrigged Zand Curly should be paired with a light weight: 5 g minimum for 12 cm, 7 g for 16 cm and 12 g for 24 cm. This allows anglers to choose their own rig and adapt the presentation to the depth and current.

Available rigged or unrigged

The unrigged Zand Curly offers great freedom when choosing the setup. Anglers can select the jighead and weight best suited to their technique. This version is therefore ideal for those who want to customize their rig for linear retrieves, slow presentations or stop & go fishing.

For greater simplicity, the Zand Curly is also available in a rigged version, ready to fish. This version is equipped with a Zamak head, which is lighter than lead. It provides a more gliding and natural presentation while allowing the lure to maintain its action at low speeds.

The choice between the two versions depends on the angler’s needs: the unrigged version offers greater freedom when selecting the setup, while the rigged version allows you to start fishing immediately.

A versatile zander lure for slow fishing

Thanks to its thin tail, veil-shaped paddle and particularly soft action, the Zand Curly is designed for anglers looking for a natural presentation. Its ability to work almost when stationary makes it a valuable option when predators become difficult to catch.

The Delalande Zand Curly is a zander lure available rigged or unrigged, designed for slow freshwater fishing and capable of targeting both zander and pike.
