Fixed Spool Casting Aid Review

Disclaimer: This is an unbiased review of a fishing accessory.
This "Fixed Spool Casting Aid" goes by many names. Some are branded, some are not, so I'm just calling it as it is... basically, a casting aid for fixed spool reels.
Ever since trying one of these out, I have not gone back to using finger stalls... Truth is, I don't even know where my finger stalls are now.
Always remember to tighten your drag on your fixed spool reel before casting - no matter what casting aid, if any, you are using.
I will be doing more fishing accessories review as well as terminal tackles such as swivels, bait clips, and many more.

I am attempting to reverse the sliding reel seat, this should mean that, the casting cannon is not moved about as the fuji sliding reel seat tightens from the butt end instead of the tip end (Your epoxy work is used in the same way as it is priceless) Thanks Allan.

If you can make a video of your finished modification, that'll be brilliant as I know it would be of use to a lot of people. Tight lines!

Great review. I own a couple already and thoroughly recommend them for fixed spool fishing

[@x3mgrifter]

Thanks, Tony. I have them on all my rods that I use fixed spool reels on. Even my spinning rod 😁.

Great video.. What Epoxy are you using to build up the canon? A lot of anglers don't like them or can't get on with it however I like them since I started using them. The only issue is that I prefer all my hand infront of the reel while holding the line but with the canon in order for me to do this the canon has to be mounted well infront of the reel seat but then that caused teh line to reach it at an angle then when I cast the line peels off the reel too quick causing early release. Mounted on the reel seat direct under the spool solves this but then my hand is behind the reel handle which feels weird. Maybe wrapping more wraps round the canon would help. I have found full casting gloves to work too

[@x3mgrifter]

I use UV cure epoxy to build up the "base." I find moving the casting trigger a bit off center helps to keep it away from the lines when casting. Gloves are nice as well, however, could be dangerous if you forget to tighten before casting as the line can slice through the gloves.

can only find the breakaway type ,and they keep breaking on my 4th now the plastic goes brittle ,two turns is better as one sometimes one can slip

[@x3mgrifter]

I find that the only reason it will slip on one turn is if the spool has not been tightened enough. And even if the spool is a bit loose, i haven't had a slip up yet. But that's with my mediocre casting skills, though. 😅
