Edd I have used roemers here in Mass for 15 years they are great releases but when fishing down over 100 feet for Kings on Lake Ontario I always had problems with false releases and you can troll smaller fish for a while with out seeing the rods shake. using blacks with rubber bands worked very well great hook sets also.But using the Chamberlain releases last year I liked them a lot so I will give them another shot this year and see what happens.
