Hey Predator, I appreciated reading about your release method, since I've never used a release before. When I bought my used boat I was given a downrigger with it, and wondered just how tight that release needs to be. I guess experience with the particular release is most important, but I might have to miss a bunch completely before finding just the right tension. Do you generally put the line right through the middle of the pads, then snap it down a couple of clicks? Would I be better off buying one of those rubber band types? (Sounds like a lot of money for a little plastic thing and a bunch of rubber bands!)
