Off Shore Tackle OR18 Snapper Adjustable Tension In-Line Planer Board Release

Heavy-Duty Lock-Down Release Control for Braid, Mono, and Superlines

Take absolute control over your trolling spreads with the Off Shore Tackle OR18 Snapper Adjustable Tension In-Line Planer Board Release. Designed to mount directly to the bracket of your OR12 Side Planer, OR31 Side Planer SST, or OR37 SST Pro Mag Planer Board, this heavy-duty release clip uses a mechanical lever system to firmly clamp down on line without slipping or causing false releases.

Whether you're pulling heavy deep-diving crankbaits, copper line, lead core, or slick braided line, the OR18 delivers a fully customizable tension setting via an easy-turn adjustment screw. An included lock nut keeps the release anchored tightly to your board's bracket arm, ensuring smooth performance even in heavy chop, high trolling speeds, and when fighting big freshwater gamefish like walleye, salmon, striper, muskie, and trout.

Key Features

• Variable Tension Control: Built with an adjustable tension screw that allows you to easily dial in light to heavy clamping power for various line types and fishing conditions.

• Slick Line Holding Power: Mechanical clamping jaw locks down securely on slippery superlines, micro braids, thin monofilament, and heavy lead core.

• Direct Bracket Mounting: Engineered specifically to bolt directly onto Off Shore Tackle inline planer board brackets for a low-profile, rock-solid connection.

• Integrated Pin Option: Configurable lock pin allows you to set up the board to trip and slide down the line or remain pinned in place during a bite.

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with corrosion-resistant hardware and durable pads (ORRP8SN replacement pads compatible) for seasons of heavy open-water abuse.

Pro Tip

Eliminating Slip on Ultra-Slick Braids: When trolling with thin-diameter braided lines, set the adjustment screw so the clamp lever closes with a firm, distinct click. If you are fishing in heavy waves or pulling high-resistance dive weights, pass your braid through the pads and loop it once around the internal retention pin before locking down the clamp lever. This creates a zero-slip connection that will never trip prematurely, yet releases effortlessly when you flip the lever by hand.
