Outrigger Release Clips by Epic Fishing Co.
Outrigger release clips hold your trolling line at the outrigger position and release cleanly when a fish strikes. These clips feature a composite body with stainless steel hardware for corrosion resistance. The design works on outrigger halyards, flat lines, kite lines, and downrigger cables. Sold in pairs with free outrigger stops that fit up to 400lb mono. The adjustable tension lets you set the release point based on lure weight, sea conditions, and target species.

Clean Releases Mean More Hookups
A release clip that sticks costs you fish. A clip that releases too early drops your lure out of position. The right clip holds the line firmly at trolling speed and lets go cleanly when a fish hits.
Epic's release clips are simple, reliable, and affordable enough to stock spares. The composite body will not corrode and the stainless hardware handles years of saltwater abuse. At $8.99 for a pair with stops included, outfitting your entire outrigger spread is a minimal investment compared to the rods and lures hanging from them.

Versatile Mounting Options
The open-body design lets you run your outrigger halyard line through the clip body. This works on flat lines, outrigger positions, kite fishing setups, and downrigger applications. One clip style covers every trolling position on your boat.
Composite and Stainless Construction
The composite body eliminates metal-on-metal corrosion. Stainless steel internal hardware provides the tension mechanism and durability for repeated use. The combination outlasts all-metal clips that seize up in salt spray.
Sold in Pairs with Stops
Each pair comes with free outrigger stops that fit up to 400lb monofilament. The stops hold the clip at your desired position on the halyard. No need to buy stops separately. One purchase sets up a complete outrigger position.

How do I adjust the release tension? +
The clip has a tension adjustment that controls how much pull is needed to release the line. Set lighter tension for small lures and calmer seas. Set heavier tension for heavy lures and rough conditions. Our trolling spread guide covers clip tension settings.
Can I use these for kite fishing? +
Yes. The clip works on kite fishing lines the same way it works on outriggers. Clip the fishing line to the release jaw, attach the clip to the kite line, and it releases when a fish eats the bait. Our planer and rigging guide covers kite setup basics.
What are outrigger stops? +
Stops are small devices that clamp onto the halyard line to hold the release clip at a fixed height. Each pair of clips comes with stops that fit mono up to 400lb. Position the stops where you want the clip to sit on the outrigger. See our trolling guide for outrigger setup.
How many clips do I need? +
Two clips per outrigger (one for the long position, one for short) plus two for flat lines is a standard setup. That is 6 clips or 3 pairs for a typical offshore boat. Buy extra pairs to keep spares on board. Browse our RC100 release clips for a different clip style.
Will these corrode in saltwater? +
The composite body does not corrode and the stainless hardware resists salt. Rinse with fresh water after each trip and the clips last for years. The composite-stainless combination performs better than all-metal clips in the marine environment. See our trolling guide for maintenance tips.
Can I use these on flat lines without outriggers? +
Yes. Clip them to your flat line to create a release point that drops the line when a fish strikes. This is useful for boats without outriggers that still want the drop-back effect on a strike. Our beginner trolling guide covers flat line techniques.
How does this compare to the RC100 release clip? +
These are a simpler, more affordable release clip for general use. The RC100 is a thru-wire design for heavier applications. Both work well. Choose based on your budget and tackle weight requirements.
