A downrigger release mechanism for releasably securing a fishing tackle line to a separate downrigger or outrigger line. The mechanism comprises a cylindrical release member including one of two types of means for securing it to the downrigger line. One means fixedly secures the release member to the downrigger line and weight. The other slidably secures the release member to the downrigger line such that the position of the release member on the downrigger line can be controlled by the amount of tackle line released. Further, in this latter embodiment the addition of other release members to the downrigger line is made possible, thereby allowing several fish to be caught without raising the downrigger line and/or release members. The mechanism utilizes two alternative removable release clip means directly securable to a release means formed integrally in the release member for releasably securing the tackle line to the release member.
