Sams Pro Release

[Pollockalope]

Tiger,

Help me with the "Double Snap Swivel" set up. I have a bunch of these Sam's Pro releases. I tried running them for salmon fishing, but with all the various types of tackle we run, we were frustrated with the constant adjusting from one set up to another.

So you are using? or about to TRY using, the double snap swivel, to attach the Sam's Pro to the board? I would like to think when running all of the same crankbaits, the Sam's Pro release would excel once you had the tension screw adjusted properly.

Also, have you tried to directly attach the release the Sam's Pro to the offshore board with a small nut and bolt?

Thank you!
Clay

Hi Clay,
We use snap, barrel swivel, snap. They need to be large.

We adjust our release often several times a day. We set them as soft as possible to not false release due to the waves. It is waves that will determine tension needed. If a board false releases more than once, we tighten a little. LITTLE!

You want to be able to release the board with a sharp pop of the line. The mistake many make is to keep trying to jerk hard! It is more of a pop that works best, not a big jerk (you are not setting the hook). It takes a little practice.
