Quick take
A plastic and ball bearing snubber that connects your downrigger line to the weight.
The Scotty 370 is a small plastic snubber that goes between a downrigger cable and its weight. It uses a ball bearing swivel and a trolling snap, so the weight clips on in seconds even with wet hands. It cushions the jolt of a strike, insulates electrically and helps keep the rig from snagging, which suits trolling anglers running downriggers.
