ABSTRACT:
A fishing line release device includes a body adapted to be attached to a downrigger line and having a first guide adjacent one end of the body and a second guide axially disposed relative to the one end of the body for receiving the fishing line therethrough. Projections are disposed adjacent the one body end and about which the fishing line can be wound. A first magnetic member is positioned along the body and defines a path extending toward and away from the projections and a release lever assembly is pivotly mounted on the body adjacent the one end and is constructed and arranged such that when the lever assembly is in an unpivoted position a lever arm extends in a direction parallel to the path. A hook is formed on the lever arm adjacent the projections to hold the fishing line thereon and whereby a force on the fishing line tends to pivot the lever arm to move the hook to a release position thereby releasing said fishing line. A second magnetic member is slidably mounted on the lever arm and is attracted to the first magnetic member for resisting pivotable movement of the lever arm so that the degree of force required to release the fishing line is dependent upon the position of the first magnetic member along the path.
