Quick take

Lightweight plastic snap clips with adjustable tension for releasing lines from planer boards and downriggers on hook-set.

This set of seven small black clips comes with matching O-rings and is sized at about 4.8 cm, made to hold line on downriggers, outriggers, kites and planer boards during offshore trips. Each clip releases with one hand and works on any line in salt or fresh water. The O-ring lets it hang from a key chain, so it is easy to carry in a tackle bag.
