If you use pad release's

[Grant Sadler]

I use OR8 pad release's and I don't like them flopping around when not in use, so this year I came up with an Idea and it's working so far:thumb: I took a 6" pc. black electrical tap and put around the down rigger arm where it will serve as a release hanger, trim to lenght w/sissors and clip the release on the tap end that hangs about 2" below the arm, NO more damaged release pads:cool:
