ABSTRACT:
A release assembly for supporting and holding a fishing line to a downrigger line assembly below the water includes a support assembly having a socket formed therein. A special fitting received in the socket holds the fishing line until a hooked fish pulls the fitting from the socket. Maintenance of upward force on the fishing line holds the fitting in the socket to carry the lure attached to the line to the desired depth. Relaxation of the force on the line allows the fitting to release from the socket thereby releasing the line allowing freedom of the line to play the fish.
