Key benefits

• 18 inch stainless steel leader for steady line control
• Mini power grip plus line release for consistent, controlled releases
• With stacking, self locating snap for fast, repeatable setup
• Streamlined design that reduces snag risk in weeds or foul lines

How it works

The line sits between soft grip pads. Moving the line in or out adjusts tension, while the tension adjuster doubles the holding power if needed. The self-locating snap locks into position for reliable operation, letting you focus on the action rather than the setup.

• Line bites are transmitted through the grip with minimal interference
• Adjust tension by repositioning the line within the jaws
• Use the tension adjuster to enhance holding power when conditions call for it

Real-world use scenarios

Ideal for trolling or rigging in mixed conditions where control matters. The compact 18 inch leader travels cleanly through the water column, guiding the line to hotspots without adding bulk. This release is designed to integrate with Scotty downriggers and mounts, supporting varied boats, kayaks, and shore setups.

Materials, compatibility, and care

Built to withstand marine environments, the 18 inch stainless steel leader combines durability with precision grip. The streamlined form minimizes snag risk, while soft grip pads maintain contact with the line under load. The release is designed to pair with Scotty downriggers and mounting systems for versatile setups.

• Rinse after saltwater use to preserve performance
• Inspect grip pads and snap for wear
• Store away from direct sunlight to extend life

Care and maintenance

Regular cleaning and gentle inspection help keep the grip consistent and reliable across trips and seasons.
