QDX is absolutely perfect for trolling live/dead
bait lures and can be fished from Outriggers,
Downriggers, Kites or the Flatline position. QDX has
fully adjustable tension and works like any other
high quality release clip. What makes the QDX
Outrigger Release so unique is Malin's Remote Manual
Release technology (RMR). RMR allows you to manually
release the fishing line from the clip by pulling
the outrigger halyard until the QDX hits the top,
causing the release arm to open. All other clips
require tension on the fishing line to pull their
release arm open.
Example.. say you're trolling live bait from the
outrigger and you get a strike, you allow time for
the fish to get the bait in its mouth prior to
setting the hook. Using RMR you can release
the fishing line from the clip prior to setting the
hook. By releasing the line from the clip, you
eliminate slack line, ensuring a proper hook set.
With other release clips the weight of the fish must
exceed the tension setting before the line is free.
This means, at the precise moment you need tight
line there will slack line created when the line is
released from the clip. You must quickly remove the
slack line before the hook sets. Many fish have won
freedom during this brief moment. Using the RMR
technology feature of the QDX Outrigger Release,
this slack line problem is completely eliminated.
Another example... say you're trolling and notice a
splash or strike near your bait or lure, but the
fish didn't hook up. For a second chance at
the missed opportunity, you should quickly place
your reel in free spool, this stops the bait dead in
it's tracks. Then use RMR to release the line from
the QDX Outrigger release. Quite often the fish
thinks it has killed the bait and returns for an
easy meal, you will be ready for the hook set. |
