Unless I am wrong you can not order them from their on line order form. You can order the planer boards, the tattle flag kit, the night light, and the complete snap weight system but I don't see wher you can order just the snap releases. Their "night light" is rather high priced at $6.50. Bought the exact same lights at Halloween time for .99 cents each. Were sold in different department stores for kids to wear at night on their costumes as a safety device so they would be seen by motorist while they were out begging. I am all for a guy making a living but when I see a price increase like that I feel they are trying to test my mental capacity. Coach

I have used these clips for a couple years. They are adjustable for tension so you don't have to worry about early releases from heavy waves. Also has a two way snapper arm that clicks front or back to either allow board to slide down to lure or come off the line altogether. Your option; just flip your desired way; click down to lock. What is unique about these releases is that there is a pad on one side and grooved plastic on the other. The soft pad holds against the grooves and line doesn't slip through. Perfect for Fireline. That is why I switched my releases as soon as I heard about these. They were first made by Wille but then Wille was sold to Big Jon. Not sure how Offshore got the rights to them now but they are good releases. "Supposed" to be readily available this spring but a lot of people seem to be having trouble finding them. Good luck.

Call Off Shore directly at 517-738-5600 and talk to Jeannie. You can get anything you need from her. The new red releases, with the pin in the center, are the OR-16's, and the new release for the superlines is the Snapper. Just ask Jeannie and she will help you.

I am waiting patiently (not) for my Off Shore catalog/magazine. Do you have any idea when we will see it? Anxious to get some of the super line clips.

It just went to print a couple of days ago, so it shouldn't be long now.
