Quick take
A downrigger release clip designed to hold fishing rods at depth, with adjustable tension to match your rod loading preference.
The Black Marine RC95 is a downrigger release clip that snaps onto the downrigger with a ring-and-snap attaching bar. An adjustable tension screw lets you set how firmly it holds the line, so a loaded rod can stay put without sliding or false trips. It also works in slider and stacking setups, which suits trolling anglers running more than one line on a rigger.
