Cannon Pinch - R - Release

The Cannon Pinch-R-Release is a spring-action trolling line release clip designed for anglers and boaters who demand precision control when deploying downrigger and outrigger lines. Built for both freshwater and saltwater applications, this compact release mechanism lets you set multiple lines at varying depths with confidence, then triggers a clean, hands-free break when a fish strikes. Trolling professionals and recreational boaters alike rely on quality releases to maximize coverage and reduce missed opportunities.

This release operates on a simple but effective principle: finger pressure on the clip's spring-loaded pads opens the mechanism instantly, while adjustable tension—ranging from 2 to 12 pounds—lets you fine-tune resistance based on target species and line weight. The deeper you seat your fishing line into the pads, the greater the holding pressure required to trigger release, giving you full control over strike sensitivity. At just 0.1 pounds and measuring 5 x 1 x 7 inches, the Pinch-R-Release integrates seamlessly into any trolling setup without adding bulk or weight to your rigging.

Whether you're running 20-pound mono off a downrigger or lighter braided line on an outrigger, the adjustable 2–12 lb. tension range accommodates most trolling applications. Tournament anglers, charter boat operators, and serious weekend fishermen benefit most from its reliability and repeatability—critical factors when your success depends on consistent, predictable releases throughout a full day on the water. Stock multiple Pinch-R-Release clips to ensure uniform tension across all your deployed lines.
