As a southpaw, I see a whole different advantage to that gizmo! Right-handers wouldn't notice, but the direction the line winds on and off the spool of all spinning reels is the wrong direction for holding/releasing with the left hand. Take my word for it, that is a very cool idea for correct handed people like me!!

@davidmagnuson14286 жыл бұрын
Been using my Breakaway Cannon for years - love it. I would recommend when you're using more then 4-5 ounces using a shock leader (a mono or floro leader that is long enough to wrap around the spool twice in the "cast ready" position - it should be 1 1/2 times lb. rating of main line - ex. 20 lb. main line / 50 lb. shock leader). That way you won't bonk your buddy with the weight when it snaps off when your loading the rod trying to hit that aircraft carrier.

@neil11505 жыл бұрын
More sensible if using a powerful cast on a big lead, shock leader should have 10lb of breaking strain for each ounce of weight bing cast.
@prynceal67622 жыл бұрын
Good point but only reason I disagree is because you will be using some type of line to line knot that will have to travel thru your guides and with casting heavy weight that line is traveling at a high speed, when the knot meets a few guides the line between the knot and the spool began to slow down and increases the chances of the dreaded wind-knots.

The official instructions are to wrap the line around the spindle once. However, if your drag is fully tightened simply arching the line over the spindle and setting the trigger is all that’s needed. It’s quicker to set, and the reel prevents any slippage. Works for righties and lefties. It also is ok to install the trigger a couple inches up from the reel if that’s a more comfortable hand position for you. The things work like champ!

I bought one of those a couple of month's ago to test out. You really feel like there is nothing holding you back on a cast and can really put some muscle behind a throw. I used electrical tape to secure it to the rod and only loop it around once. Works like a champ. Going to buy another one for my other 'heaver'.

I don't mean to hijack this post but the tool that you're using is known as a bionic finger. It's not really necessary to add it to a light spinning rod as you not really gonna throw heavy lures and baits with it and the chances of you cutting yourself is very rare. It's more comfortable and quicker to use a casting glove with lighter braids up to 0.24mm. Here in South Africa we normally equip our large grinder setups with bionic fingers due to us throwing larger baits with sinkers ranging from 5ounce to 9ounces. Another tip when casting is not to throw straight from behimd you but to rather swing the rod around you causing the extra momentum to make you lure/bait fly larger distances. Cheers all the way from South Africa
@saltwater_addict7426 жыл бұрын
Oh and there's no need to wrap it twice, once is enough due to less friction breaking the initial swing.

When you cast straight over head, you also have total control of direction. So the okes next to you don't have to duck.
