ABSTRACT:
A downrigger release comprises a “scissors-like” release clip, which includes a release arm mounted to an arm holder and adapted to rotate between closed and open positions for carrying and releasing a fishing line, a bifurcated pincer clip, which includes a pair of beams that receive the arm holder, an axially extensible and retractible spring for connecting the pincer clip to a downrigger line, a retainer for retaining and triggering release of the release clip from the pincer clip, the retainer comprising a boss on one of the beams and a detent on the arm holder, release being effectuated by the action of a transverse force camming the boss outwardly from engagement with the detent, a positioner for positioning the release arm in the closed position, and a force adjuster for adjusting the amount of transverse force needed to trigger release of the pincer clip from the release clip.
