Abstract
An outrigger fishing clip comprises a U-shaped arm pivoted to a body to define a cavity between the arm and body in which is positioned one side of a roller journaled in the arm so that a fishing line extending through the clip between the arm and body rides friction-free over the roller. A latch member spans the arm and body having a cam element engaging the free end of the pivoted arm and resiliently pressed against the body to provide a predetermined adjustable force that resists pivotal release of the arm and of the tensioned fishing line entrained over its roller.
