    Default Release

    Best I have found is a shower curtain hook, plastic clothes pin, & #16 rubberband from staples. Cheap and very functional.

    Same here. Or you can use small paper binding clips instead of the clothes pin to hold the rubber band. For Steelies and bigger eyes out of Wheatley, I just use the shower curtain ring and the rubber band. No need for anything else.

    One tip with riggers, add a 12-18" steel leader to the back of your cannon-ball and attach your release to that. This allows you to see if there is a junk fish on the line, as you can see the rod tip move. It is pretty sweet when you see the rod tip bounce right before the release & then the drag starts singing from a steelie taking line. Love it....
