  • Patent number: 4854072
    Abstract: The assembly comprises a cable clamp that is connected directly to a fishing downrigger cable thereby making a semi-permanent connection that is adjustable to any position on the cable. The clamp has a wire attached which has a series of blades strung along in series to attract attention of the fish. At the end opposite the cable clamp, a line release mechanism is positioned. This mechanism has the fishing line pass through it and this mechanism will release the fishing line when a certain predetermined pressure, in terms of the weight and force of the fish attacking the bait, is sensed. This action allows the fisherman to battle only the fish and not the excess line and blades which would occur if the entire blade line were released or if the blade assembly were attached directly to the fishing line.
