ABSTRACT:
A release clip for use with big game fishing comprises a housing and a spool carrier, with the spool carrier being rotatably mounted on the housing. The spool carrier is capable of rotation between an open and a closed position. The spool carrier has a spool disposed about it where slack fishing line is wound, and the housing has a pad disposed about it that is capable of applying a soft compression to the slack line in order to keep the line in place, and to prevent the line from tangling. The relesase clip, when in the open position, releases the slack fishing line when a fish applies sufficient tension to the line, allowing the slack line to play off of the spool. The amount of line tension required to open the release clip can be set variably by a fisherman.
