Quick take
A rubber and stainless steel snubber that absorbs shock between downrigger line and weight.
This rubber and stainless steel snubber sits between a downrigger line and its weight, cushioning the jolt when a fish strikes or the weight shifts. It comes with a ball bearing swivel and a trolling snap, so the weight clips on quickly even with wet hands. A good fit for anglers trolling freshwater with a downrigger who want a simple shock absorber at the terminal end.
