Breakaway Cannon
I know there's been a thread on this before but I've never actually got to use one until now.
All I can say is that if you use a fixed spool for goodness sake get one of these. My casting was rubbish before I got one of these and I'm now casting with confidence and over 100 yards from an overhead thump. It's going to be especially useful when it's wet or foggy.
It's a doddle to fix to the rod and even more of a doddle to use.
Er, sorry Mods - please feel free to move this to the casting section.
