Clips

AFTCO Release Clips are precision built to handle release applications on outriggers, flat lines, kites and downriggers. AFTCO's Roller-Troller Outrigger and flat line release clips were the first clips to feature a roller in a release clip to eliminate line wear. The roller turns smoothly along with the line to eliminate friction and wear. The bigger radius of the roller also relieves line strain. Roller-Trollers are the most widely used outrigger release clips on sportfishing boats everywhere. Our innovative Goldfinger Clips use an extremely reliable numbered and graduated adjustment slider which allows for a precise setting of release-tension every time. Engineered not to foul or tangle, they have a large diameter stainless wire bail for less line wear and smoother releases. They are perfect for lighter live baits like ballyhoo, goggle eye and pilchard.

Dave Elm, AFTCO Tackle production manager since 1989, is not only a respected angler and captain, but in keeping with AFTCO tradition, served several years as Chairman of the Board of Directors of UASC. Even though Milt fished over 3,500 days, he always wanted to fish more, and did so from a wheelchair until the last few days of his life.

ROLLER-TROLLER® OUTRIGGER AND FLAT LINE CLIPS

AFTCO’s improved Roller-Troller® Outrigger and Flat Line Clips protect lines with legendary “roller guide action.” Featured is a stainless steel roller that never roughens or grooves, with an AFLON™ *Teflon® coated bearing for silky-smooth performance. The “improved” micro-tension adjustment turns easily, and once the tension is set, a precision-engineered latching system will release your line repeatedly at exactly the same pull. Most importantly, trolling lines roll smoothly over a polished stainless steel roller that turns right WITH the line — virtually eliminating the friction and fraying associated with the backand- forth “sawing” motion of lines running across thin wire bails of ordinary outrigger clips as lures skip and jerk through the water. With Roller-Troller® Clips, your line holds its rated strength, ready for those crucial moments of greatest stress when big bluewater game fish strike.
