A down rigger line release is disclosed for releasably holding a fishing line relative to a down rigger line. The release includes a body defining an upwardly opening groove which is angled from the horizontal. The fishing line is wrapped around a tapered release pin pivotally mounted at one end within the groove. Due to the taper of the pin, the fishing line will be wedged between the pin and the sidewalls of the groove when the pin is disposed within the groove. A resiliently mounted member is carried by the body and exerts an adjustable force against the free end of the tapered release pin. -1-
