Boy, that dumps line pretty quick.

I guess you'd have to freeze your plugs in water first! Then wait a bit for the ice to thaw.

Something similar to the sabots used for shotguns and muzzleloaders might work. Just a little bigger, you could probably use a leash on the sabot so it was reusable. And charge the cannon with nitrogen rather than dealing with a pump and batteries.

It's easy to impressively dump a short-spooled reel loaded with 80+lb braid. The distance claims for these things are greatly exaggerated.

The only application this contraption would be good for is shark fishing with large frozen/fragile baits like a whole herring or 1/2 a mackerel or bunker. The need to keep the pre-rigged bait and sinker frozen necessitates a powered freezer or dry-ice.

Really, for this thing's price tag, just get a decent distance set-up and learn to use it.



You can’t truly call yourself “peaceful” unless you are capable of great violence.
If you are incapable of violence, you are not peaceful, you are just harmless.
