Your cart is empty. A great release is more important than the downrigger itself !
Try my improved Pro Release II, you will love them, guaranteed!
The Pro Release II was designed to release smoothly and predictably at any tension setting using a unique "pinched bobbin" design.
A few wraps of the line around the bobbin, pressing against the rubber wheel provide rod loading tension
Thumbnut adjusts release tension from less than 0 all the way to 20 pounds of pull.
It's unique design is perfect for braided or monofilament line.
The Pro Release II has the following key features:
- Proven design from 1977, was very popular, but disappeared after 9/11. I started this biz to bring the best back for you.
- Best product at the best value for what you get, one release does it all.
- Eliminates false releases through precise rod loading / release tension adjustment
- No tools required
- Complete and ready to fish and stack out of the package
- Simple loading. Lay the line on the bobbin and wrap 3-4 times for rod loading
- Set tension thumbnut once and it releases predictably every time.
- You know when it's going to release, unlike pinch pad releases
- You don't have to spin a loop, like with pinched wire releases
- Precisely adjustable from 0 - 20 lbs !
- Not inline from boom to weight. 3' leash transmits action and makes it easy to retrieve and load without bringing the ball out of the water
- Use with all kinds and sizes of fishing line, especially braided fishing line
- Use for all kinds and sizes of fish. You don't need a tiny release for tiny fish
- No line fraying or burning due to twisting, sliding, rubbing or pinching
- Several colors for visibility and fish attraction
- High quality corrosion resistant Brass, Stainless Steel, and solid Plastic components
- Made in the USA

I have tried, I think every release out there and none of them are consistantly reliable. Out of frustration I saw this release and figured might as well try it. I fish 100' plus with braided line and this has been the only reliable release I've used. Really happy with it, set it and forget it, if you come off you've been hit. Buying 3 more and tossing all my old ones. Wish I'd found these 20 years ago.

I’ve done a lot of downrigging and have recently started fishing for Kokanee salmon but it’s difficult to set my other releases sensitive enough for their soft mouths. I’ve been able to adjust this perfectly for Kokanee one day the the next trip out it adjusts easily for Coho salmon. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because the knurled end that you use to tighten or loosen the tension could either be a more aggressive knurl or maybe a wing nut so it’s still easy to adjust when your fingers are wet. Still it’s my favorite release and I’m buying a couple more.

Excellent downrigger release which works great on braided line.

These are the best releases hands down, but are now way to expensive. These use to sell for $7.00. From the previous owners that owned the rights to the releases before they went out of business.

Once you figure out how to use this, you won’t go back. I have it 4 stars because the instructions are difficult to follow. They should consider adding a youtube “how-to” link.

Great product. No false released and pink is easy to see in dark water. Great customer service as well.

They work as they should. They are a bit more difficult to use than the standard release.
