breakaway cannon

Thu May 31, 2012 7:30 pm

I have used this for two weeks now and find it great ,with a 15 foot rod and a shimano navi .
I use two turns around the knob for 3 oz weights and 3 turns for 4 and 5 oz it takes a bit of getting used to, but one or two sessions had me wellying baits out with no worries of white finger , i,d say it has put a nice few yards on my cast being able to hit the rod a bit harder 8)

thanks determind dan and tonyfella (i now have two 8) )

I was thinking of trying these myself, I know Paul mason was telling me he used them and that man can cast ;)

not sure al ,but they do work well, southside angling might do them,most tackle shops have breakaway gear so i,m sure they will get you one in if you ask?

I've used them for over 12 years and wouldn't be without them. Make sure when you tape it to the rod that it is not too far away from the reel. I have them on both my rods, but I have to say I can cast with the best of them with my 13ft rod and the Shimano Navi.
Get the timing right and off into the distance it goes!!

I used to use one until i switched to multi's, probs the bestest invention for not ripping the finger off yourself during a 'over enthusiastic' cast ever..... Creep has it just now tho on 'loan'..... Dare say its lost at this stage tho.... :(
