Quick take

Rubber snubbers with ball bearing swivels that reduce impact when trolling, preventing hook tears and line twist.

The Scotty #373 is a compact snubber that sits between the downrigger cable and the weight. Its rubber body gives a little stretch so a hooked fish is less likely to tear free, and the swivels help keep line from twisting. It suits anglers trolling with divers behind a downrigger, and the pack includes two.
