The Du-Bro 1055 Drop Back Release is specifically designed for baitfishing with an open bail, as the drop back release allows your line to release when a fish strikes and runs with your bait. A tension screw allows for easy adjustments using both braid and monofilament line up to 40lb. If you are typically fishing with live or dead bait and often leave your rod sitting in a rod holder waiting for a fish to strike, the Du-Bro Drop Back Release is a great option to keep you from setting the hook too soon and losing the big one.
