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.

Best for

  • Saltwater trolling from boats
  • Targeting fish at specific depths with downrigger systems
  • Setting multiple rods at different depths

Skip if

  • You fish from shore or kayak
  • You don't own or plan to use a downrigger system

Strengths

  • Adjustable tension screw allows tuning for different rod flex and weight
  • Durable plastic body and stainless steel resist saltwater corrosion
  • Slider and stacking capability maximizes rod deployment on one cable

Trade-offs

  • Use requires investment in a full downrigger system
  • Adjustment is required for each new rod, adding setup time
  • Plastic body is less durable than all-metal designs after years of use
