Bill never use a release on lead core. Put some leader in between some of the colors and use the leader to the release. Or a rubber band, but then they will fall off into the water, fish really don't like them.

Always clip the release to the backing (I use power pro) after the core or the copper is all in the water. I use Scotty mini power grips for short cores( up to 6 works fine) and I use the Big Scotty releases for my long coppers. If you get the stacker style release packages you get a better deal, just add your own shower rings after you cut off the stacker line.
