Abstract
A fishing line release which includes a pair of opposed pincer members each having a tail, a body, a neck and a jaw. The pincer members are interconnected at their tails for movement between a position in which the jaws are open and a position in which the jaws are closed. The necks are of a reduced transverse dimension and are juxtaposed to one another such that each jaw extends transversely across both necks. A portion of the jaw of each pincer member closely overlies the neck of the opposed pincer member for movement thereacross, such that a gap is defined therebetween. A guard flange projects rearwardly from each jaw, along the side of the neck of the opposed pincer member, to thereby obviate the risk of the fishing line becoming entangled within the gaps formed between the jaws and necks of the opposed pincer members.
