Breakaway Casting Cannon,
If you’re someone who uses fixed spool reel then you’ll be more than use to the kinds of minor finger injuries which come part and parcel with the casting of the reel. After all, if you want to enjoy a successful cast then you’ll want to have maximum control over your line, which means pinching the line tight to the rod until the opportune moment. However, this can often result in the line cutting across your finger as you release it – painful at the best of times but particularly nasty in the cold winter months. Luckily, this is where Breakaway and its nifty Casting Cannon comes into play.
Designed to fit universally onto any fishing rod, whether you’re using a traditional UK rod or a longer continental model, this Breakaway Casting Cannon ensures that you never have to worry about finger injury on a cast again! To use, simply attach the Casting Cannon to your rod, in line with your rings (or where you’d hold the line in a traditional cast). You can easily attach it with insulating electric tape or other similar adhesive. Then, all you need to do is wind the line around the knob of the Cannon. By applying pressure to the handle, it pinches the line in place. This allows you to cast out with supreme control, releasing the line at the optimum moment without worrying about sustaining an injury. Not only is this ideal for angling in the winter, when the pain from the cast can feel particularly sharp, but it is also perfect for the angler who has lost dexterity in their fingers. Whether as a result of an accident on illness, such as arthritis, the Casting Cannon ensures that you can still cast out impressive distances with accuracy.
Your line release is the most important element of your cast and it can make or break your cast in terms of distance or accuracy. If you’re worried about your finger on the cast, you’re never going to be able to punch out with the confidence that you need to hit those distance features. The Breakaway Casting Cannon insures that you can hold down your line until the power stroke is complete, without worrying about the safety of your fingers. It also allows you to cast with a delicate clutch setting, ensuring that you can fish to your fullest potential each time you head down to the water’s edge.
The Breakaway Casting Cannon is an original concept, designed by the Breakaway team, so you won’t find anything else like it on the market. If you’re fed up of injured fingers on the bank or beach, or you’re finding that you aren’t able to cast with the accuracy that you’d demand from your rod and reel, then the Cannon is an essential addition to your fixed spool fishing setup. Allowing you to cast with power and confidence over long distances, even with a light clutch, the Cannon is a uniquely useful casting tool which will aid anglers of all ages and abilities.
