Casting help!!!
I been using Power Pro braid for a while and it's killing my finger when casting. I read in one of the forum way back that there's a small launcher or the one that holds your line with a trigger when casting I forgot the name. I tried searching it on Cabela's but they don't have it. Anybody know what I'm talking about and any feedback on them.

the cheap fix is a piece of tape on your thumb or index finger.

I agree with the tape thing.
When using braid and throwing a lot of weight I use tape.
There are also leather finger sleeves to protect.
When you speak of the launchers - I assume you are talking spinning?

Use a piece of athletic tape, or better yet train your finger to take it. Make sure your drag doesn't slip if you're using heavy plugs.

Found it on-line.
It is called a break-away cannon casting aid.
I will not post the link here, because the site I found it on a big sporting goods site and I like to recommend the sponsors.
If you cannot find it elsewhere - PM me and I will give you the link

If your talking spinning try these. I picked up a couple at the MSBA show and they work pissah.....and at a buck a pop you can't beat the price.

I use tape sometimes but find using an old golfing glove works great.
