Blacks kite/downrigger releases are the best in the world, bar none, designed and built by guys that hook-up 1,000 pounders from a kite with a live baitfish on the surface. easily, and infinately adjustable, and positive release, even if you are just checking bait. ever had your gear slide all the way to the release, and then have to crank up and untangle? flat doesnt happen with the Blacks releases, you can set them light enough that a 10" trout could click it off, up to harder than your gear (rods) can pull, they make stackers too, been using them for 15 years. never had a problem, not one.
and no pinching either.
