The Scotty Mini Power Grip Plus is a compact downrigger line release designed for anglers who want reliable, adjustable tension in a streamlined package. It comes pre-rigged with an 18-inch leader and a cannonball snap, making it ready to attach directly to your downrigger weight without additional hardware.
Fishing line is held between soft, non-damaging pads, and release tension is adjusted simply by moving the line further in or out of the jaws — no tools required. A built-in tension adjuster doubles the holding power when you need a firmer grip for heavier lures or faster trolling speeds. The low-profile body is shaped to pass cleanly through the water without snagging weeds or fouling adjacent lines.
Key Features
- Soft pad jaw design grips fishing line without damaging it
- Variable release tension adjusted by repositioning the line in the jaws
- Tension adjuster doubles holding power when needed
- Streamlined, low-profile body resists weed fouling and line tangles
- Includes 18-inch leader pre-rigged with a cannonball snap
- Ready to use — no additional hardware required
Intended Use
Designed for freshwater and saltwater downrigger trolling where a compact, adjustable release is preferred. The Mini Power Grip Plus is well suited to lighter tackle applications where a standard-size release would be oversized, and to situations where multiple releases are being run close together on the same downrigger weight.
The adjustable jaw tension makes it versatile across a range of lure weights and trolling speeds without requiring a separate release for each application.
Compatibility
Compatible with standard downrigger weights fitted with a cannonball snap attachment point. The 18-inch leader provides adequate separation between the release and the weight for most trolling setups. Confirm that your downrigger weight and snap configuration are compatible before ordering.

Parts Desk Insight
The Mini Power Grip Plus is the right choice when you want a smaller, lighter release for finesse trolling presentations or when running multiple releases stacked on a single weight. The jaw-tension system is intuitive and easy to adjust on the water, which makes it practical for anglers who change lure weights frequently throughout the day. If you need heavier holding power for larger lures or faster speeds, step up to the standard Power Grip Plus instead.
