Downrigger Question???

[wiperhunter2]

I have never used rubber bands for that very reasons but after reading a few post about this subject I remember something about using different size rubber bands. I guess you should use the smallest you can find and see if that will help. I use the regular clips and have never had a problem with the release but it really depends on the size of the fish. When the clip doesn't release quick enough, I just jerk on the rod and that usually gets it to release. Good luck. WH2
