Scotty - 1042 Snapper Line Release Cannonball Snap w/ 18" Leader

The Scotty 1042 Snapper Line Release is an essential tool for New Zealand anglers employing downriggers to target deep-holding species. Designed to bridge the gap between your main line and the downrigger weight, this release is particularly effective when slow-trolling for Trout in the central lakes or live-baiting for Kingfish in coastal waters. The unit features a precise tension mechanism that ensures your line releases crisp and clean the moment a fish strikes.

• Cannonball Snap – Directly attaches to the downrigger weight for a secure and streamlined connection.
• 18-inch Leader – Provides optimal separation between the weight and your fishing line to prevent tangles during deployment.
• Variable Tension – Allows you to fine-tune the release pressure by simply placing the line deeper or shallower in the jaws.
• Soft Grip Pads – Engineered to hold monofilament or braid securely without damaging or flattening the line profile.
• Compact Design – The 'Snapper' size is ideal for standard trolling applications where a heavy-duty grip is not required.
• Self-Locating – Designed for easy setup and resetting, minimising downtime between strikes.
