The Scotty Mini Power Grip Plus 1180 Downrigger Line Release Clip is fitted with an 18" wire leader and a stackable self-locating snap, which is basically a shark clip but with a slightly different design to make sure it grabs the downrigger cable without slipping.
The self-locating snap allows you to attach the clip at any point along the downrigger line rather than having to clip it to the bomb at the bottom, which allows you run another bait out off your downrigger line at any depth you choose.
Let's say you wanted to run a bait/lure at 15m and one at 10m to cover more ground, on the downrigger bomb you'd attach a as normal, lower the bomb down into the water and 5m later you'd attach this 1180 Line Release Clip which will grab and hold the line at the shallower spot, then you lower it to 15m.
Instructions:
- Attach the snap to the downrigger line that's attached to the bomb at whatever depth you want to run it
- Attach the line off your fishing rod to the clip by squeezing the jaws apart and placing the line between the pads. Note: the further into the pads you lay your line, the more tension that's required to pull your line free
- Further change the tension by moving the tension adjuster at the back of the clip forwards (increases tension) or backwards (decreases tension)
Features:
- 18" wire leader
