In the photos the Release clip has a swivel at the other end.This was for view only. Cable the clip & Pelican hook together with cable.I don't like Metal to metal Snap swivel to P hook. wear~tear etc.You don't need a swivel here,best not to have one.I've tried so many ways too. Clip the pelican hook to the Ski ring ,The aft rod holder rod's line will then go through the release clip.The line or clip will not enter the water.This keeps the line next to the water which benefits a Bou'Cou' of things.No smoke on the Line(Finiky Fish or WaHoo cut offs) ~Faster trolling~Less weed~No Wind Problems~Better Hook Setting on strike~Allows more lines to be trolled~ Run lures closer to boat 3rd wake or so. The down side is Smoker lures at slower speeds don't jump or smoke as well as rod tip or riggers.I could go on & on.I catch/Caught more Fish off this trolling setup than any other. Upon Strike the Rod will GET BENT ! & the clip will fall into the water & not Smack the Hull.If & when I get all the pieces back together I'll tie a Bone to the End of a Rod & let "HOOVER" go.A picture is worth a 1000 words!
