ABSTRACT:
A deep trolling release device releasably connects a fishing line to a downrigger line. A hollow outer member is connectable to the downrigger line. An inner member is slidably received in the outer member. There is a pin on the inner member adjacent the aperture with a free end. The pin normally spans the aperture for holding the fishing line which extends about the pin. A release device adjacent the top of the inner member is capable of being struck by a weight slidably dropped down the downrigger line to displace the inner member downwardly and move the free end of the pin across the aperture to release the fishing line. A recess member has a recess with an internal spline means and a passageway for fishing line exterior to the recess. A wedge member has a tapering portion shaped to wedge within the recess member. The tapering portion has longitudinal grooves extending along opposite sides thereof. The grooves are sufficiently large to permit the fishing line to pass freely between the wedge member and the recess member with one of the grooves fitting over the spline means when the wedge member is wedged in the recess member.
