Quick take
A stainless steel manual release for side planer boards that holds the line until a fish strikes.
This is a black stainless steel release clip from Silver Horde, made for use with side planer boards. It holds the line while you troll and lets go when you need the board to slide down and be reeled in. Trollers working walleye or other spread-out trolling setups will find it a simple, lightweight add-on for a planer board.
