Delphin Larvo 30 Soft Plastic Lures Cheese floating 3cm Tropic

Delphin Larvo 30 in Cheese: the 3 cm soft plastic grub for wary trout

When trout turn selective and have keyed in on small insect larvae, the size of the lure decides between a bite and a blank. This is exactly where the Delphin Larvo 30 comes in. It measures just 3 cm, weighs 0.5 g and copies the body shape, segmentation and surface texture of a wasp larva. The model takes the proven Bugo concept and transfers it into a far more compact format for waters under heavy angling pressure.

Flexifloat: buoyant and remarkably stretchy

These soft plastic lures are made from the buoyant Flexifloat material. The bulky body, combined with the buoyancy, noticeably slows the descent through the water column. This keeps the lure in the field of vision of the fish for longer and holds it upright above the jig head on the bottom. The high stretch means a single larva stays fishable even after several bites and landed fish.

Cheese scent that invites a second bite

The material absorbs flavours and releases a distinct cheese scent on every contact, which invites a second bite. When fishing for trout in particular, this often leads a fish to attack the lure again and more decisively after the first contact. Working alongside this are the UV-active colours, which reflect light more intensely and keep the lure visible for longer at greater depths and in dull weather. The colour range comes from several years of testing across different waters.

The key points at a glance

• Compact larva imitation measuring 3 cm and weighing 0.5 g
• Buoyant Flexifloat material for a slow sinking phase
• Intense cheese scent released on contact
• UV-active colouring for low light and greater depths
• Highly elastic and therefore reusable many times over
• Practical pack of 15 pieces

Rigging and target species

The Delphin softbait is fished on a micro jig head or on a tungsten head mounted on a jig hook. Among trout lures it plays to its strengths in the trout area just as much as in flowing water, where chub, perch, grayling and silver fish regularly respond to the small profile. Anyone who fishes light spinning tackle and has to adapt to cautious feeders should keep this larva in the tackle box.
