Scotty - 2020 Kingpin Release Clip

The Scotty - 2020 Kingpin Release Clip is a critical terminal tackle component for New Zealand downrigger fishing, offering precision release control when targeting deep-holding species. Built with a fully adjustable tension dial, this release allows anglers to fine-tune the strike sensitivity for everything from cautious trout in Lake Taupo to aggressive Kingfish offshore.

Designed with a streamlined 18-inch leader and a self-locating snap, it attaches securely to your downrigger cable while ensuring a clean separation upon the strike. The heavy-duty construction withstands the harsh marine environment, providing consistent performance whether you are trolling live baits or lures at depth.

• Adjustable Tension – Yellow nut allows precise tension control for different lure sizes and fish species.
• 18-Inch Leader – Provides optimal separation from the downrigger cable to reduce line tangle.
• Self-Locating Snap – heavy-duty stainless steel snap allows for quick and secure attachment to the cable.
• Clean Release – Engineered to release the line instantly when a fish strikes, removing downrigger weight from the fight.
• Braided Line Compatible – One of the few clips designed to grip braided lines effectively without slipping.
