The hook release is very simple. It's a screw hook straightened out and angled enought to hold the rod tip by the eye with the line sliding in a grove in the end of the pvc. When the fish tightens the line it pull the pvc down which in turn causes the rod eye to slip off where it's hooked.(Image removed from quote.)
