Each outrigger can accommodate one or two lines from your rods and reels. The line is used with a release clip that extends to the end of your outrigger. When a fish strikes your bait, the release clip will allow your fishing line to come free of the outrigger so you can reel in the fish.

What angle should an outrigger be?

The recommended angle is 35 degrees off the vertical. If you angle the outrigger too far back, it will decrease the amount of height and spread you will have in the fishing position. Rake-back angles greater than 45 degrees are not recommended.
