How to use Casting Cannon for Surf Fishing

This video will explain how I set up Casting Cannons on my Surf rods. I will demonstrate how to install and how I use Casting Cannons. I have installed Casting Cannons on almost all of my rods for several reasons, the two largest benefits are casting strength/distance and they prevent finger lacerations on my casting finger as a result of thin braid and heavy sinkers.
If you decide to use Casting Cannons, you will need to practice when to release the trigger for the optimum cast. Once the line is secured to the casting cannon, open the bail. Be sure to release the trigger during the cast. If you forget to release the trigger, or the bail closes during your cast, you could damage your rod and/or lose your leader & rig. I defiantly think the Casting Cannons help me cast while preventing finger lacerations. Can't recommend them enough! Good luck.

what a delicate human.

[@Voyagerss77]

You do not need this device, all you need is just to cut an old bicycle tube that goes inside the tyres and that feet into your finger so that you can use it to protect your finger, is free and you can never replace what your hand can do because you can still feel the line when exactly let it go!!!! I tried both method and the old biycle tube is still the best and free!!!!

try single finger glove dr fish

[@michaeleverton4882]

Try using One turn around cannon for light casting weights; and Two wrap arounds for heavier weights!

[@waydeyoung2748]

I go around once?

[@BeachBuzz]

Go with why works for you. If I were casting short, 1-3 is fine (depends on a sinker size too). I prefer 4-5 wraps for long casts.

[@waydeyoung2748]

@@BeachBuzz okay thanks I just never knew better I thought if I go around more then once my line would snap

[@lrakwons9799]

I got around 5 times as well, if I go less it slips off on me. When I’m using this through I usually have 2oz sink plus bait on though so maybe lighter you’d get away with one wrap

We call this a bionic finger

[@arronjohnson195]

Trying to understand what the real "benefits" are of this. It doesn't do anything more than hold the line like you do with the tip of your index finger when casting normally. So you use your thumb to hold a mechanical release device? Why not just use the line release that you were born with? It's called the tip of your index finger? Am I missing something here?

[@BeachBuzz]

Great question. It’s a tool to allow full casting strength without your finger being the limiting factor. I use a 4 oz sinker and needed a way to have full casting potential with a braid that was lacerating my finger. This was my solution. I’ve incorporated it on most of my rods. It’s not a must have, but I’ve found great value for the benifits gained in casting distance and finger protection. My thumb is the release when I use the cannon. I have a few rods without it, but cast much further with the casting cannon. It’s just an option.

[@BeckVMH]

@@BeachBuzz Ditto. Basically a narrative of what you explained in the video.

[@iceman5117]

Someone has never been surf fishing. When you're casting braid several hundred feet with a 12-15' rod, you need either a glove or a device like this to stop the line from taking off the tip of your finger

[@arronjohnson7509]

@@iceman5117 No... someone else seems to have never fished with a spinning reel before or something because A) You would never let the line run against your finger once you've cast. Your finger is only used as a trigger to hold the line SO you can cast. As soon as you let it go, your finger never touches the line again. And B) it would almost be impossible to let the line run along your finger (with a surf sized spinning reel anyway) without it completely stopping the cast because it is rotating around the spool and it would thump your finger every time the line went around. It's really not rocket science.

[@iceman5117]

@@arronjohnson7509 my guy, my brother in Christ, stop for one second to think about the stupid shit you just said. Think for a second about the mechanics of releasing the line when you cast a spinning reel. Think about how your finger cannot teleport, and how it has to gradually release the line, and how the line slides past your finger when you release. You may not realize this when you're fishing with 4lb mono and a spinner on your trout rod, but you will when you're casting a 4oz sinker on a 15ft rod and that 30lb braid wipes the print off of your fingertip.

Using a air gun for casting your bait

I’ve thought about that
