Last summer sportco was selling the Scotty releases separate (no line, release clip only) for a very reasonable price. I bought some plastic coated cable and some of the stacker type clips that clip right on the cable and some crimp on fasteners(for lack of a better word) and made my own releases for around 6$ a pop. My problem is that I go through a lot of releases. The clips that clip right on the cable seem to come off quite often. Am I doing something wrong?
