Izorline Trolling Rail Strap – Heavy Duty Rod & Reel Security

The Izorline Rail Strap is an essential piece of trolling gear for any serious offshore angler. Designed to securely mount your trolling outfit to the gunnel rail, it keeps your rod and reel locked in place while you work the spread — so you can focus on finding and fighting fish, not holding on for dear life.

Whether you're targeting hard-charging tuna, lightning-fast wahoo, or other trophy gamefish, the Izorline Rail Strap takes the strain off your arms and eliminates the risk of losing an expensive outfit overboard. Built tough for the demands of offshore trolling, this strap is a simple upgrade that pays for itself the first time a big fish strikes.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty construction built for offshore trolling conditions
• Secures rod and reel to gunnel rail — no more hand-holding your outfit
• Reduces arm fatigue during long trolling sessions
• Protects against rod and reel loss from sudden strikes by large gamefish
• Compatible with standard trolling setups
• Compact and lightweight — easy to rig and remove

Specifications

The Lead Masters Quick Change Trolling Harness is a 36-inch, 49-strand stainless steel wire harness with a quick-change connection that lets you swap trolling lures in seconds without cutting wire or re-rigging. Built to handle Wahoo, Sharks, and other toothy fish that would cut through monofilament or fluorocarbon leaders. Available in 175 lb, 275 lb, and 400 lb ratings to match your target species and line class.

Key Features

• Quick-Change Connection — Lure Swap in Seconds — The quick-change clip at the lure end allows you to switch trolling lures without cutting wire, re-crimping, or re-rigging; when fish are keying on a specific lure color or profile, the ability to change lures quickly without pulling the entire spread keeps more lines in the water and more time fishing; critical during fast-moving offshore situations where conditions and fish behavior change rapidly.
• 49-Strand Stainless Steel Wire — Toothy Fish Rated — 49-strand stainless steel wire is the standard for toothy fish trolling applications; the multi-strand construction is flexible enough to rig through lure heads and connect to hardware without kinking, while providing the bite resistance that Wahoo, Sharks, Barracuda, and other toothy species cannot cut through; single-strand wire is stiffer and more prone to kinking; 49-strand provides the flexibility of cable with the bite resistance of wire.
• 36" Total Length — The 36-inch length is the standard harness length for offshore trolling lure rigs; long enough to allow the lure to swim naturally behind the leader connection without the hardware affecting the lure’s action, and short enough to leader the fish to the boat efficiently during the fight.
• Three Cable Ratings — 175 lb, 275 lb & 400 lb — Match the harness rating to your target species and main line class; 175 lb for lighter trolling setups targeting Tuna and Yellowtail; 275 lb for mid-weight big game targeting Wahoo and larger Tuna; 400 lb for heavy big game targeting Marlin, large Sharks, and maximum-size Wahoo.

Rating Selection Guide

Best For

• Wahoo — Bite-Resistant Wire Leader — Wahoo have razor-sharp teeth that cut through monofilament and fluorocarbon leaders on the strike; the 49-strand stainless wire harness provides the bite resistance needed to land Wahoo consistently; use the 275 lb rating for standard Wahoo trolling setups.
• Sharks — Sharks require wire leaders to prevent bite-offs during the fight; the 400 lb rating provides the abrasion resistance and bite resistance needed for large shark species; the quick-change connection allows lure or bait changes without re-rigging the entire wire leader.
• Tuna & Big Game Trolling — The quick-change connection is most valuable during active Tuna and big game trolling when rapid lure changes are needed to match the fish’s feeding preference; the 175 lb rating for Tuna-focused setups, 275–400 lb for heavier big game applications.

Lead Masters Hoochie Squid Skirts are 5-inch unrigged squid skirts for saltwater trolling, designed to be customized by the angler for a wide range of species and rig configurations. The soft squid skirt body and tentacle action on the troll make hoochies one of the most versatile and proven trolling lure styles for Tuna, Salmon, Yellowtail, and other pelagic species. Because they are unrigged, you can rig them on your preferred hook, leader, and hardware to match your target species and trolling setup. 5 per pack. Available in 7 colors including a Glow Red option for low-light and deep water applications.

Key Features

• 5" Squid Skirt Profile — Versatile Trolling Action — The 5-inch body length matches the profile of small squid and baitfish that Tuna, Salmon, and other pelagic species key on; the soft skirt tentacles flutter and pulse on the troll, producing a lifelike squid swimming action at a wide range of trolling speeds; effective from slow salmon trolling speeds (2–3 knots) through faster tuna trolling speeds (5–8 knots).
• Unrigged — Fully Customizable — The hoochie skirts are unrigged, allowing the angler to rig them on their preferred hook size, leader material, and hardware; rig on a single hook for salmon, a double hook for tuna, or thread onto a jig head for a weighted presentation; the unrigged format also allows the skirts to be used as trailers on existing lures and jigs.
• 7 Colors Including Glow Red — Pink Blue, Purple/Black, Silver Blue, Yellow/Blue, Yellow/Orange, Green/Black, and Glow Red; the Glow Red option charges under UV light for low-light and deep water trolling applications where a luminescent skirt provides a visibility advantage.
• 5 Per Pack — Five skirts per pack; provides multiple skirts for rigging different hook configurations or replacing skirts that are damaged during fishing.

Color Selection Guide

Best For

• Tuna — Rig on a double hook setup with a 60–80 lb fluorocarbon leader and troll at 5–8 knots; Silver Blue, Yellow/Blue, and Purple/Black are proven tuna colors; the hoochie skirt can also be rigged behind a cedar plug or hex head for a skirted plug presentation.
• Salmon — Rig on a single hook with a flasher or dodger ahead of the skirt and troll at 2–3 knots; Pink Blue and Green/Black are proven salmon colors; the hoochie skirt is one of the most widely used salmon trolling lure styles on the West Coast.
• Yellowtail & Pelagics — Effective for Yellowtail, Mahi-Mahi, and other pelagic species on the troll; the unrigged format allows the skirt to be customized for the target species and trolling speed.
• Trailer on Jigs & Lures — Thread the hoochie skirt onto a jig head or existing lure as a trailer to add squid skirt action and color to the presentation; effective on iron jigs, hex heads, and swimbait heads as a skirted trailer.

Keep Your Lines Down and Your Lures Working

When you're trolling from the stern, line angle is everything. The AFTCO Roller Troller Flat Line Clip puts your flat lines into the water at a lower, more productive angle — keeping lures below the surface where they run true, reducing tangles with other lines, and delivering instant, clean releases the moment a fish strikes. No hesitation, no missed hookups.

Engineered for Offshore Punishment

This isn't a clip you'll be replacing every season. The Roller Troller is built around a stainless steel roller with an AFLON™-treated bearing that handles the constant friction of trolling without wearing down. The 135-lb coated stainless steel cable and heavy-duty snap swivel are rated for the biggest fish you're likely to encounter. Micro-tension adjustment lets you dial in the release sensitivity for different lure weights and sea conditions.

Why Flat Line Angle Matters

Lines trolled at a steep angle create drag, reduce lure action, and are more likely to tangle with outrigger lines. A flat line clip solves all three problems — your lures run deeper, swim more naturally, and stay separated from the spread. When a fish hits, the clip snaps open instantly so you're fighting the fish, not the clip.

The Right Pick If...

• You're running a multi-line trolling spread and need clean line separation
• You want a release clip that won't prematurely pop or fail to release
• You're targeting big-game species that require a solid, reliable setup
• You need adjustable tension to match different lure weights and conditions

Best Fishing Techniques

• Flat line trolling from the stern with lures or rigged baits
• Multi-line spreads with outriggers — keeps flat lines separated and productive
• High-speed trolling for wahoo and tuna
• Slow trolling with rigged ballyhoo or mackerel for billfish

Best Conditions

• Offshore blue water trolling in any sea state
• Any situation where line angle and lure depth need to be controlled
• Multi-line spreads where tangle prevention is critical

Best For

• Species: Marlin, sailfish, wahoo, mahi-mahi, yellowfin tuna, bluefin tuna
• Techniques: Flat line trolling, multi-line spreads, high-speed trolling, slow-trolled rigged baits
• Use Cases: Stern flat line clips, trolling spread organization, release clip replacement

Key Features

• Stainless steel roller for smooth, low-friction line release

• Micro-tension adjustment — dial in release sensitivity for any lure or condition
• 135-lb coated stainless steel cable — rated for serious offshore fish
• Heavy-duty snap swivel for quick attachment and reliable connection
• Instant snap-open release on strike — no hesitation, no missed fish
• Sold individually (1 clip per pack)

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Start with lighter tension: When first setting up, dial the micro-tension to the lighter end and work up. A clip that's too tight can delay the release and cost you a fish.
• Position matters: Mount your flat line clip as close to the water as practical — the lower the angle, the better your lure action and the less chance of tangling with outrigger lines.
• Inspect the cable regularly: Even coated stainless can show wear after heavy use. Check the cable and snap swivel before each trip and replace if you see fraying or corrosion.

FAQ

How does the micro-tension adjustment work?
The tension adjustment controls how much force is needed to pop the clip open on a strike. Lighter tension is better for smaller lures or when targeting fish that hit softly; heavier tension works better for large lures or high-speed trolling where wave action might cause false releases.

Can I use this clip with both lures and rigged baits?
Yes. The adjustable tension makes it versatile for both high-speed lures and slower-trolled rigged baits like ballyhoo or mackerel. Just adjust the tension to match the lure weight and trolling speed.

Is this sold as a single clip or a pair?
The AFTCO Roller Troller Flat Line Clip is sold individually — 1 clip per pack. Order two if you're running flat lines on both sides of the stern.

Control Your Spread. Miss Fewer Fish.

The AFTCO Roller Troller Outrigger Clips give you something most outrigger clips can't: the ability to reel line directly through the clip without removing it. Position your lure exactly where you want it by simply reeling in or letting out line — the line rides on a silky-smooth AFLON™-treated roller that won't nick or weaken your leader. When a fish strikes, AFTCO's precision-engineered latching system releases at exactly the same pull every time, so you get consistent hookups and fewer broken rigs.

Precision That Pays Off on the Water

Inconsistent release tension is one of the most common causes of missed strikes and broken gear. The Roller Troller's improved micro-tension adjustment is positive and sensitive across a wide range of settings — once you dial it in, the latch releases at the same force on every strike. That repeatability means you can fine-tune your spread for different lure weights, trolling speeds, and target species without second-guessing your setup.

Why Outrigger Clip Quality Matters

A cheap clip that releases too early causes false drops and wasted time re-rigging. One that's too stiff delays the hookset and costs you fish. The Roller Troller sits in the sweet spot — adjustable enough to handle everything from light ballyhoo rigs to heavy lures, and reliable enough that you can trust it trip after trip. The AFLON™ bearing handles constant friction without wearing down, even in saltwater conditions.

The Right Pick If...

• You want to adjust lure position without removing the clip from the outrigger line
• You need consistent, repeatable release tension across your entire spread
• You're targeting big-game species where a missed strike is a missed opportunity
• You run kite fishing rigs and need a reliable, adjustable clip

Best Fishing Techniques

• Outrigger trolling with lures or rigged baits
• Kite fishing — compatible with kite line setups
• Multi-line trolling spreads requiring precise lure placement
• High-speed trolling for wahoo and tuna
• Slow trolling with rigged ballyhoo or mackerel for billfish and sailfish

Best Conditions

• Offshore blue water trolling in any sea state
• Any spread where lure depth and position need to be controlled precisely
• Multi-line setups where consistent release tension is critical

Best For

• Species: Marlin, sailfish, wahoo, mahi-mahi, yellowfin tuna, bluefin tuna
• Techniques: Outrigger trolling, kite fishing, multi-line spreads, high-speed and slow trolling
• Use Cases: Outrigger clip replacement, trolling spread setup, kite fishing rigs

Key Features

• Reel line directly through the clip — adjust lure position without removing from outrigger
• AFLON™-treated bearing for smooth, long-lasting roller action
• Improved micro-tension adjustment — positive and sensitive across a wide range
• Precision-engineered latching system releases at the same pull every time
• Reduces missed strikes and broken line from inconsistent release
• Sold as a 2-clip pack

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Match tension to lure weight: Heavier lures need more tension to prevent false drops from wave action. Start light and increase until you stop getting premature releases.
• Use both clips symmetrically: Set both clips to the same tension so your port and starboard lines drop at the same time on a double strike — critical when targeting billfish.
• Rinse after every trip: The AFLON bearing is built to last, but a quick freshwater rinse after saltwater use keeps the roller spinning freely and extends the life of the clip.

FAQ

Can I adjust lure position without taking the clip off the outrigger line?
Yes — that's one of the Roller Troller's key advantages. Simply reel in or let out line and it feeds right through the clip on the roller. No need to drop the outrigger or re-rig.

Is this compatible with kite fishing setups?
Yes. The Roller Troller Outrigger Clip works well for kite fishing applications where adjustable, consistent release tension is important. The micro-tension adjustment lets you dial in the right setting for kite line conditions.

How is this different from the Flat Line Clip?
The Outrigger Clip is designed for use on outrigger and kite lines, where the line runs through the clip at an angle from above. The Flat Line Clip is designed for stern flat lines trolled at a lower angle. Both use the same AFLON roller and micro-tension system, but are configured for different positions in the spread.

The Lead Masters Big Game Two Hook Trolling Rig is a pre-made two-hook harness built for rigging large Marlin and Tuna feathers. Made with 480 lb stainless steel cable, this rig is constructed to handle the largest game fish without failure at the connection. Skip the time and frustration of building your own two-hook rigs — the Lead Masters harness is ready to rig your feather in minutes. Available in 8/0 and 9/0 hook sizes.

Key Features

• 480 lb Stainless Steel Cable — Big Game Rated — The rig is built on 480 lb stainless steel cable — rated for the sustained pressure, shock loads, and abrasion that Marlin, Bluefin Tuna, and other large pelagics generate during the fight; stainless steel cable resists kinking, corrosion, and the bill strikes from Marlin that would cut through monofilament or fluorocarbon leaders.
• Two-Hook Configuration — Better Hookup Ratio — The two-hook setup improves hookup ratio on large feathers and trolling lures; the trailing hook catches short-strikers — fish that strike at the tail of the feather and miss the lead hook; the two-hook harness is the standard configuration for serious big game trolling where a missed hookup on a Marlin or large Tuna is a costly loss.
• Pre-Made Harness — Ready in Minutes — The rig comes pre-assembled and ready to attach to your feather; no crimping, no cable cutting, no measuring — simply thread the rig through your feather and connect to your leader; eliminates the time and skill required to build a proper two-hook cable rig from scratch.
• 8/0 & 9/0 Hook Sizes — The 8/0 is suited for mid-size feathers and Tuna-focused trolling presentations; the 9/0 is sized for larger feathers and Marlin-targeted presentations where a larger hook gap is needed for a solid hookset on big fish.

Size Selection Guide

Best For

• Marlin — Large Feather Rigs — The primary application; rig a large trolling feather on the 9/0 two-hook harness and deploy in a standard offshore trolling spread at 6–9 knots; the 480 lb stainless cable handles the bill strikes and sustained pressure of a large Marlin without failure.
• Bluefin & Yellowfin Tuna — Feather Trolling — The 8/0 rig for Tuna feather trolling; the two-hook configuration improves hookup ratio on Tuna that strike short at the tail of the feather; troll at 5–8 knots in a standard spread with the feather on the short corner or long rigger.

The AFTCO Goldfinger Outrigger release clip should be attached directly to the outrigger halyard without the use of swivels. The adjustment-slider end of the clip needs to be "up" towards the tip of the outrigger. For fixed position bait trolling,the fishing line should be twisted 5 to 10 times before hooking loop over the clip's bail. The line may also be passed over the bail without twists to allow for adjustment of baits or lures.
