Walker Downriggers LR-400 Stacker: Double Pad Release Reel with Cable and Snap

Overview

Elevate your downrigging setup with the Walker Downriggers LR-400 Stacker. This reel features a dedicated Double Pad Release designed to let you stack additional lines on the downrigger cable, keeping your presentation tidy and controllable. Built for saltwater environments, the release uses stainless steel springs that resist wear, helping to deliver years of consistent performance.

In practice, anglers appreciate the balance of reliability and ease of use. The LR-400 combines rugged construction with a compact footprint, so it integrates smoothly into most downrigger systems. The focus here is on repeatable action: a smooth release that holds when needed and releases cleanly when a target bites.
