Breakaway Cannon - casting aid for use with braid

[MuskieBait]

I know. And yes, you do not ever want to spin your mono that tight.

My point is...when fishing in the surf, with the need to use a mono leader to prevent abrasion of the braid against sand bars, you won't be holding braid with your finger to cast anyways. Even with a 13' surf rod, a 30' rub leader is not unreasonable at all...especially with steep beaches or beaches with deep trenches.. I've yet to cast braid straight off the reel in that environment.

There is also something called finger tape. Works just as well
