Scotty 1180 Mini Power Grip Plus Line Release Clip

1180 Mini Power Grip Plus with 18″ Leader and Stacking Self-Locating Snap

Overview:

• Mini Power Grip Plus with 18” Wire Leader and Stacking Self-Locating Snap
• Fishing line is gripped between the soft pads and variable release tension is attained by moving the line in or out of the jaws
• The “tension adjuster” doubles the holding power if needed
• Streamlined design won’t snag on weeds or foul lines

The Scotty Mini Power Grip Plus 1180 Downrigger Line Release Clip is fitted with an 18″ wire leader and a stackable self-locating snap, which is basically a shark clip but with a slightly different design to make sure it grabs the downrigger cable without slipping.

The self-locating snap allows you to attach the clip at any point along the downrigger line rather than having to clip it to the bomb at the bottom, which allows you run another bait out off your downrigger line at any depth you choose.

Let’s say you wanted to run a bait/lure at 15m and one at 10m to cover more ground, on the downrigger bomb you’d attach a 1181 Line Release Clip as normal, lower the bomb down into the water and 5m later you’d attach this 1180 Line Release Clip which will grab and hold the line at the shallower spot, then you lower it to 15m.

Instructions:

• Attach the snap to the downrigger line that’s attached to the bomb at whatever depth you want to run it.
• Attach the line off your fishing rod to the clip by squeezing the jaws apart and placing the line between the pads. Note: the further into the pads you lay your line, the more tension that’s required to pull your line free.
• Further change the tension by moving the tension adjuster at the back of the clip forwards (increases tension) or backwards (decreases tension).
