Quick take
A streamlined downrigger line release that grips fishing line between soft pads with variable tension.
The Scotty Power Grip Plus Stacker is a downrigger line release that lets you run more than one rod off a single downrigger. Soft pads hold the line, and you set the release tension by moving the line in or out of the jaws, with a tension adjuster that doubles the holding power when you need it. It clips to the weight or the cable and comes with a 6-inch leader, in a streamlined shape meant to slip past weeds. A fit for trollers who want to spread lines at different depths.
Best for
- Trolling multiple rods off a single downrigger
- Trolling setups for saltwater or deep freshwater species
- Situations requiring multiple baits on one downrigger cable
Skip if

- You fish from shore without a boat
Strengths
- Soft pads grip the line without kinking or damaging it
- Adjustable tension lets you fish multiple presentations on one downrigger
