Yes! I have the casting cannon instaled on my Ian Golds Extractor and I use it for braid, they take a little getting use to but once you overcome the inital miscasts and get use to the release timing they are great. :D
Kstaff has always been the new black in my eyes anyway!!!!!!!

Never used the cannon myself, but i have been using the Breakaway Thumb Button for years and would not be without it. Takes a few casts to get used too, but thats the same with an gadget. :D

Back in the time when a Sea Streak was the only multi available I used the thumb finger off a heavy duty rubber glove. Apart from the smell it worked well.
