Frequently Asked Questions
How do I adjust the release tension on the Scotty 1182 Mini PowerGrip Planer Board Release?
Tension is adjusted by repositioning the fishing line further into or out of the release's jaws. A deeper placement generally increases tension, while a shallower placement decreases it.

A line release detaches the fishing line from the downrigger cable or weight when a fish strikes, preventing direct stress on the downrigger system and allowing the angler to fight the fish on their rod and reel.

Yes, the soft pads are designed to provide a secure grip on various line types, including braided fishing line, provided the tension is correctly adjusted to prevent slippage.
