Scotty - 1046 Mini Snapper Line Release w/ Stacking Self-Locating Snap & 18" Leader

The Scotty 1046 Mini Snapper Line Release is a critical tool for New Zealand anglers looking to maximise their downrigger spread, particularly when targeting trout in the Taupo region or lighter saltwater species. This "Mini" version is specifically designed for lighter lines, offering a more sensitive release that prevents the false trips often associated with heavier clips.

Featuring a stacking self-locating snap, this release allows you to attach a second line anywhere along your downrigger cable, effectively doubling your coverage of the water column. The soft pads grip monofilament or braid securely without causing damage, while the variable tension system lets you fine-tune the release pressure simply by placing the line deeper into the jaws.

• Stacking Capability – Self-locating snap attaches anywhere on the cable, allowing you to fish multiple depths simultaneously.
• Mini Design – Ideal for lighter drag settings and smaller species, reducing false releases on trout gear.
• Variable Tension – Adjust release pressure easily by moving the line further in or out of the jaws.
• Soft Grip Pads – Securely holds fishing line without crimping or damaging the main line.
• 18-Inch Leader – Provides optimal separation from the downrigger cable to minimise tangles during deployment.
