The trick is not to put your line so deep into the clip but deep enough that it will hold your line when trolling. You have to play with it and find out works best for you also with the scotty mini there is a adjustment make sure you have it in the less holding.

When I put it in the clip I center the line with the black dot on the clip in the middle of the green pads. I have had some small 8 inch fish pull it out of the clip no problem. I grab the rod and reel down to the clip and in a gentle but swift motion I pull up on the rod to release it with out jerking it from the release. That is so I dont pull the hooks out of the mouth of the fish. The black dot (center of clip) is my starting point then if I need less I adjust my line out in tiny bits or in for more. I hope that helps.

That is the same place I start as well the black dot, sometimes I will take the bottom half of the line and pull it out part way but only the bottom half but sometime it makes it to soft and you have false releases. Just play around with it and you will find what works on your boat Cobrar543.
