MIYABI Ambassador Selection

Florent Catherine’s Favourite MIYABI Rigs

A passionate surfcasting angler from the Cotentin Peninsula in Normandy, Florent Catherine adapts his rigs to every session depending on the conditions, tides and target species. This is his MIYABI selection for surfcasting on the Normandy beaches.

Pulley Rig

Best for

The Pulley Rig is my go-to setup for the Cotentin coastline. I use it when conditions become difficult, with current, swell or when targeting sea bass with larger baits.

2 Hook Floating Rig

Best for

I particularly like this rig when the sea is rough or the water is coloured. The floating beads make the bait more visible and attractive, making it highly effective for sea bass.

1 Hook Long Snood Rig

Best for

I value this rig for its very natural bait presentation. The long snood gives the bait great freedom of movement, making it ideal for cautious fish.

Advice from Florent Catherine “Observe, understand and adapt — that is the key to surfcasting. Every beach is different, and every session is unique.”
