Teakle's Tackle Talks Breakaway Cannon, Alternative Placement

[@johnmorris2346]

Mine is mounted under ,so I use my idea finger , never had a problem 😊

[@Johnnybananass-_]

Also makes a great hook point when moving rods

[@George_Salt]

I recommend using glue-lined heat shrink tube rather than electrical tape for securing the cannon - it's neater, and more resistant to slipping.

[@davidblake2863]

I have used mine on top for a couple of year's now and find it better for me

[@islandspurs4041]

Great video as always, just purchased 2 and will mount them on top as you done. Thank you

Your reel seat is mounted backwards

If you read the instructions you will find you wrap the line around 3 times to stop it slipping and another thing you have the reel seat the wrong way round for a fixed spool real

[@VealsMailOrder2898]

@@graemearmstrong3388 I’ve yet to have an issue wrapping the line once around the barrel, and neither have the guys I know who use the cannon. It doesn’t matter which way round you position a reel seat….

I can see why it doesn't slip with a 80lb shock leader but with braid it would slip and be very dangerous

[@frankandreasen2428]

@@graemearmstrong3388 I use braid all the way including the leader and have never seen it slip yet but i would never put the cannon on top

How can a tutor put the reel facing the butt. Some comments here opened my eyes , I confess.

[@VealsMailOrder2898]

@@truthfinder6999 It doesn’t make any difference which way around the reel seat is positioned on the rod. The reel is facing the tip, not the butt.

[@matthewcadle7200]

An item designed for something that is not needed. And the reel seat looks so wrong being on that way!...

[@VealsMailOrder2898]

Thousands of anglers use the Breakaway Cannon, it’s very effective. It doesn’t matter which way you face a reel seat, it’s down to personal preference.

Or two zip ties, one too one bottom
