Standard Drop Back Release

Du-Bro Standard Drop Back Release

The Du-Bro Standard Drop Back Release is an ingeniously simple tool designed for open bail fishing situations — such as when multiple rods are deployed or a rod is in a holder — where it is not possible to keep your bail open and your finger on the line. The device mounts securely to your rod using a plastic locking tie and acts as a stand-in finger, releasing the line cleanly and naturally when a fish strikes the bait.

Built from marine-grade, corrosion-resistant materials, this drop back release is engineered to hold up in demanding saltwater conditions without sacrificing sensitivity. The adjustable tension screw allows for precise fine-tuning of line release pressure, enabling customized settings based on bait size, trolling speed, and current fishing conditions. Its smooth mechanism reduces line friction for flawless bait presentation and quick, consistent releases every time a fish hits. Compatible with up to 40 lb. monofilament line, it works with spin, troll, and casting reels.

Compact, easy to install, and highly effective, the Standard Drop Back Release works seamlessly with outriggers, flat lines, and bridge setups. Trusted by professional captains and offshore anglers targeting species like sailfish, marlin, tuna, and mahi-mahi, this release helps you present baits naturally and avoid setting the hook too soon. Made in the USA and sold 2 per package.
