Quick take
A spring-loaded line release for offshore trolling downriggers that sets quickly and holds tension even on rough, turbulent waters.
This is a spring-loaded, clothespin-style line release that clips your fishing line to a downrigger weight for trolling. It comes with a higher tension setting suited to rough water and offshore runs, where a weaker release might let go too early. One release is included, so it fits a standard single-line setup on each weight.
Best for
- Offshore trolling for striped bass and large species
- Turbulent water conditions where false releases occur
- Downrigger fishing on large boats
Skip if
- You fish freshwater lakes only
- You hand-reel your downrigger weight up
Strengths
- Spring mechanism sets reliably without twisting or looping
- Higher tension setting prevents false releases
