I use a 14ft 3 piece Vercelli Enygma Superfast Continental style beachcaster with a Daiwa fixed spool reel. I've tried finger stools and one of my gloves with a piece of leather glued to my index finger to take the pain out of casting 150gm weights. I didn't get on with either of those. I saw the Breakaway Cannon advertised by Veals and decided to try one out. ( I had previously "googled" the use of the Cannon and found good reports). The Cannon arrived, it was easily fitted to my rod with electricians tape. I have used it on two outings now and it's been brilliant. It took a couple of practice casts to get used to the correct release time, but I soon got used to it. I think my distances have improved as I can put more power into my casts without any pain. I am not a power caster and wrap my leader line once around the standing part as recommended. I noticed that some of the power caster wrap their leader line twice around the standing part. An excellent simple to use and fit casting aid. - Recommended!!Read full review

Was a bit unsure when I first saw these come up however for the sake of £11 (or whatever price it was) I thought why not give it ago worse case it's no good and I'll just throw it in the box with all the other ''good ideas''. This however is a great addition to have on your rod it makes casting so much nicer as well as making the rod a lot more comfortable to hold whilst casting which as a result definitely makes a difference on the distance. Personally I set it up but holding the rod and reel in my casting position and placed the canoon where my finger would naturally sit, this was actually off centre to where the line would run true to the rod however, this means every time i cast i can get a good firm hold of the rod and a comfortable finger placement on the trigger. I'm definitely not disappointed in this purchase, And would absolutely recommend it.Read full review

Have these on my other fixed spool beachcasters, and needed one for my new 15'9" Rampage as it puts a lot more pressure on the finger! Easy to use and gives a lot more distance on casts. I ship mind on rather than tape them. Recommend for slides who don't like to hurt their fingers - especially during cold weather.

This is a very good idea from breakaway but the cost is extreme for ok quality product. For nearly £11 i would have expected a much more refined finish to the product not as precise as it could be. After saying that it does avoid tearing the skin off your finger and it helps in the timing of your line release.

What an excellent bit of kit, so easy to attach to the rod with tape only... Easy to use just takes a few test casts and you're away! You can cast harder for more distance without hurting fingers or thumbs. Recommend gadget, that works!!
