ABSTRACT:
An outrigger clip for releasably holding a fishing line in trolling position astern a fishing boat has an elongated body with fastener members on each end for supporting the clip outboard of the boat on outrigger lines. A V-shaped roller over which the fishing line may freely run during trolling is rotatably retained on a shaft that extends laterally from a gate hinged on the midsection of the body about a pivot axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body so the roller may swing between a closed, fishing line holding position and an opened, release position. A lug extends from the same side of the gate as the shaft at an acute angle. Detent members frictionally engage such lug when the roller is in the holding position and there are springs adjustably compressed in longitudinal bores in the body to apply pressure on the detent members for regulating the holding force applied to the lug to control the pull required to release the fishing line from the clip when a fish strikes.
