Upgrade the release on Offshore Planer boards?

[Carpfisher]

Expanding my TTP( tactics, techniques, and procedures), Army terms, to include planer boards. I have order the 9.5” off shores boards. Bass Pro had a recommended buy of the planer boards snapper release

Is this needed/worth the $20 each?

TIA!

I put these on all of my Walley boards two years ago with no issue.  the boards were going on 10+ years old on the stock clips had worn out.    the the price on Amazon for 8pcs you can replace all every two years and be money ahead.

I will second those releases, I use the same on my walleye boards. The only thing I did to make releasing them a little bit smoother I cut the little tit on the front of the release down and line comes out better for me!

Thanks for the advice. The new clamps have arrived and I am bit confused. Are these to replace the release at the “front” of the board or the one off the rear? I see a pin in the clamp which leads me towards the line keeper at the rear?.
How do you rig these?
Thanks again for the advice
