That does look interesting, especially for stacking. I usually just stay with high technology and use a rubber band for a release. The band goes around the line at the desired distance from the lure, then is attatched to the ball or rigger line, fish bites and gets hooked by the speed of the boat, breaks rubber band, fish-on. I use it because its easy, and releases (breaks) at the same strength every time. Seems like the cannon offshore releases I've also used release at different tensions despite placing the line in them in the exact same spot. I still have never seen the "perfect" downrigger release.
