Suspend and old downrigger clip off the frame so that it hangs 4-6" below the spool. Use a scrap of wire. You can set the tension for the size of bait you're using.

Offshore-style releases with the rubber pads are ideal.

In a pinch, pad the jaws of a small aligator clip with electrical tape, and rig in the same way.

Both work flawlessly. Good Luck.
