Scotty 1170 Power Grip Plus Release — 18" Leader
The part you lose and replace most
Free shipping over $75 · ships in 3–7 business days
Best bought alongside something else. Small, light items like this cost nearly as much to ship as they do to make. Add it to a rod or lure order and it rides along in the same box — which is why the free-shipping threshold is $75.
Grips the line by the pad rather than the knot, so it holds under trolling load and lets go clean on the strike without shaving your braid. The 18-inch mono leader sets the lure back off the ball. Buy two.
Why this one
- ▸Pad grip — adjustable tension, no line damage
