A release device used within a down rigger fishing assembly for easy attachment to a down rigger cable and efficient release of a fishing line when a fish strikes bait at the end of the line. The device is made of a single body having a groove at one end for mating with a down rigger cable and opposing hooks at either end of the groove for securing the cable with the groove. At an opposite end of the body is a trigger shaped as a bell crank lever pivotally attached to the body and having a pair of arms to hold a fishing line therebetween when the trigger is closed into the body and for releasing the device when the trigger is pivoted outwardly away from the body. A resilient and adjustable catch is provided on the body which holds the trigger in a closed position.
