Cedric's interview

Hi Cedric, to introduce yourself quickly, you are a fishing guide in Brittany, more precisely in Morbihan, can you tell us where we can meet you on the water?

Cédric Lechevallier : Hi everyone, so I usually leave from Pénerf (Damgan) and head to Houat, Hoëdic and Belle-Île. I fish the islands a lot, these are my favourite areas overall.

Can you tell us about the Edge Rods you use?

C.L : I am a fan of rods made in the USA, it is quite natural that I turned to the Edge Rods models! They have a lot of power, they are fast, they are nervous, and they have a clean look, everything that characterizes Gary Loomis rods!

Here are the models I have with me on the boat!

BWS MBR 734-1S

Specs : 2m21, 5-25g, Fast

The best for fishing with light soft baits and topwater lures.

FSS ISR 765-1S

Specs : 2m29, 10-40g, Fast

My all-round rod, cast and retrieve, soft swimbait, big topwater lures, and vertical fishing.

FSS ISR 7116-1S

Specs : 2m41, 20-60g, Fast

To make heavy soft swim baits on my spots, in high range, You can cast jig head of 45g + the lure.

What are your favourite techniques?

C.L: I particularly like topwater fishing, jigging and soft swim bait.

You are a saltwater fishing guide in Morbihan, what made you decide to become a fishing guide?

C.L : The passion to make people live beautiful moments. This is what I look for when I go guiding with my clients.

For anglers who are looking to progress, what is the best advice you could give them?

C.L: I would say that it is important to correct your line so that it goes with the lure on its way down. This will greatly improve your chances of catching fish.
