Quick take
Trolling line release with variable tension adjustment and cannonball snap for streamlined presentations without snagging.
This is a compact line release for downrigger trolling. Your line sits between soft pads, and moving it deeper into the jaws raises the tension at which it lets go, with an adjuster to double the grip when you need it. The 18-inch leader and cannonball snap clip onto the downrigger weight, and the slim body is shaped to avoid catching weeds or fouling the line.
Best for

Strengths
