Frequently Asked Questions

What are these Downrigger Accessories?

These are replacement downrigger release clips, stacker clips, and coated wire components. They are the kind of small hardware you want spares of on the boat, since a failed clip can cut a trolling day short. Options include adjustable tension clips and stainless steel stacker clips.

What options are available?

Four choices are offered: Black Adjustable Downrigger Release Clips in a 2-pack, a Downrigger Release Clip with wire, a Stainless Steel Stacker Clip, and a Black Release Clip with an 18 inch stainless coated wire plus stacker clip. Pick by how you rig your riggers.

What is a stacker clip used for?

A stacker clip lets you run a second line off a single downrigger cable, stacking two rods at different depths. The stainless steel stacker option here adds that capability so you can cover more of the water column on one downrigger ball.

Why keep spare release clips on board?

Release clips wear out, lose tension, or go missing over a long trolling season. Keeping spares means a worn clip does not send you back to the dock. The adjustable tension 2-pack lets you dial in how firmly the clip holds your line until a fish strikes.
