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.
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
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.
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. 😅

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

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
