Recently I ran across an aide that solved my problem of cut fingers, tape on casting finder, and resulting in longer casts.
Instead of going into lengthy details, I'll post a picture and a link to a fisherman, with a sense of humor, that explains its use. (you'll have to skip the ad)

BTW, I opted to anchor the trigger a bit higher than what this guy suggested, where my finger normally puts pressure on the line.
You can find them on Amazon or Ebay

They work very well.. Also they allow you to put extra power into the cast with confidence knowing you 're not going to cut your finger and getting a longer cast.. I have one that glows in the dark..

I wouldn't mind if it whistled a few bars of "Yellow Rose of Texas" while catching some fish!

Henry,
The trigger worked great, had to make some adjustments on casting but sure added to distance.
