Quick take
An 18-inch stainless steel leader with a mini power grip line release and self-locating snap that frees hooked lines without tangling.
The Scotty 1180 is a compact line release that pairs a Mini Power Grip Plus clip with an 18-inch stainless steel leader. A stacking, self-locating snap lets several releases ride on one line. Its slim shape is meant to keep clear of weeds and fouled line, which suits trolling setups where you want your line held at depth until a fish hits.
