Blacks releases


Recommended Posts

Been using them since 99. Have tried others including scottys. I think they are more forgiving in regards to not havng false releases when thumbing the spool on deployment or on the outside rods in a speeded up turn. The way they are built gives you less mechanical advantage on the release which allows for agressive crank downs and gives the fish more mechanical advantage. My 2 cents. I hate false releases below 100ft and that is when you are really trying to minimize your bow in the line.

The Chamberlain releases have two tension screws....one is a vertical setting that allows you to crank the rod over and the other a horizontal setting. The horizontal release works with magnets and you can set it for very light bites..... take a look at this

Lots of guys love em. I can't stand em myself, never have, never will. I think the Scotty Power Grip Pinch Pad releases are superior in every way imaginable.

Tim,

Do you twist the line into your Scotty releases or just clip it in?

Jay, I twist the line and bury the twisted double line in the back of the release. you can load the crap out of the rods and never get a false release, yet shakers are easily detected. Last year I had a rigger down 200+ feet on occasion and it worked great.

Chamberlain releases by far are the best IMO, they are a blacks release with an adjustable magnet for the line pull going to the bait/lure. You can crank the line to the rod way and I mean WAY down and the line going to the lure as light as .2 /10ths of a pound. No more trolling dinks and not knowing it.
