the present invention an extension element 130 can include any desired structure connected to release weight 100 and allows a user to lower and raise the release weight for example and not in limitation any form of rope string rod etc can be utilized and notably need not be per se rigid or flexible as long as the same allows an operator to lower the release weight 100 and pullably retract it after the release of a fish for example and not in limitation extension element 130 can be provided as fishing line in still another exemplary aspect of the present invention extension element 130 can be fixed to weighted element 110 in any desired manner functionally consistent with the present invention such as tying welding gluing clamping wrapping etc for example and not in limitation as illustratively shown in fig1 weighted element 110 can include a connection element provided as an eyelet 111 formed therethough with extension element 130 being fixed thereto in any desired functionally compatible manner such as tying the extension element thereto alternatively as illustrated in fig4 a connection element can be provided as a bar 112 molded therein or otherwise attached thereto accordingly extension element 130 can be connected to bar 112 via tying or any other functionally compatible manner with or without typical fishing hardware such as a snap notably unlike prior release elements which require an extension element to be attached to an attachment hook the present invention provides for attachment of extension element 130 to weighted element 110 which can allow a u201c pendulum.
