For both downrigger trolling as well as planer board fishing, Scotty releases are great tools if you know how to adjust the tension for monofilament vs braided lines.
Good video. I'm just blowing the dust off my downriggers & was revisiting my releases. This works the same for Scotty's large releases also. Trolling with braid seems to be 1 of my challenges with holding braid in place with 8-14" stick baits being dragged behind.
*We tried this out finally yesterday and it worked awesome! **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it’s we put it on our 16 foot aluminum boat and trolled with it. We didn’t catch anything but it was still fun and worked awesome! Can’t wait to use this baby again and hopefully reel in a big ole fish! Very easy to install and set up.*
