chamberlain releases

[Mharri333]

I used the Chamberlains all last season. I used two downriggers and stacked them both. Dfly is correct, you do have to take the time to adjust them the first time then tweak them a bit with the size gear and fish. But... Once they are dialed in you won't get false releases and they will release when there is a smaller fish so you don't drag one all day wasting precious early morning trolling time. I like that they release and don't just bob when you get a fish on. They release every time and the rod takes out the slack and sets the hook keeping you from losing fish. I think I get more in the net than I did with regular pinch clips. I have been using mine since the beginning of this season again and they have been fine. The only down side is that they are easy to drop in the drink while stacking. I have lost one. Although, I have dropped a couple of other clips prior to that.

I noticed how much better they were when I dropped the one and had to go to a back up clip. The Chamberlains are far superior. When I went to 4 downriggers I ordered more without batting an eye.

I had a chance to talk to Kokanee Tackle this morning and Joe told me he modifies the stacker 101 by adding a small retention wire and clip that attaches to the rigger wire to help prevent such losses. I'll be visiting their store in Boise next week to pick mine up along with some other tackle.

DFLY shows how to do that in another post. Good idea.

Joe opened a store in Boise again? I just ordered some gear from him the other day.....got here really quick because it shipped out of Meridian. I heard rumors he was back in Boise and there MIGHT be another store coming.

mhrarri333 is right, yes I lost one and my crew lost them so I came up with the solution here's my post on how to prevent that. http://www.kokaneefishingforum.com/...p?7127-insurance-for-your-chamberlain-stacker

I'm been using the chamberlains releases going on my second year now, they like anything else have to be super tuned, but what they are design for nothing else comes close. I did add snubbers to the units and attach them to my cables so I don't loose one so far so good. I did loose an adjusting screw last week almost impossible to find that screw anywhere there hardware store and no screw yet. I don't stack them.

the kokaneetackle store in boise is only open one day a week. but im sure if your in the area and want something they will do there best to take care of you. Make sure you ask for the "REEL BOSS" when you call she is a lot smarter then Joe. LOL

Yup....I've talked to the 'boss' before. Where are they located? What day of the week? I can make it work.
