Quick take
A stainless steel downrigger release clip that mounts between the ball and thimble for precise depth control.
This silver stainless steel downrigger release clip sits between the thimble and the ball on the downrigger cable. An adjustable tension screw lets you set how hard a fish must pull before the line lets go. It suits trolling anglers running monofilament who want quick changes on the water, and it is made in the United States.
