Hi,

There is a release that a person can buy that allows the fisherman
after getting a hit or fish to hook another release to a downrigger cable
and it takes the line down rather than having to hoist up the cannonball
weight to rehook your fishing line to it. What the hell is it called?...
Thanks for any help on this...Jim


Yes. Shasta Tackle makes them and is called a Shuttle Hawk.
