There is no problem with big fish using the fixed slider, we havn't lost any equipment yet, but like all fishing, equipment is lost from time to time. Once I lost a downrigger to a net but these are rare occurrences.

If the slider is attached above the diver, I don't understand how the diver would stay attached to the main line. It seems like the resistance from the diver and the snap pushing into the release that it would knock the diver right off. I'm with you John.

That is why you use the OR16 ( and they come with them) release not just any release. It has a pin in the center of it and you cannot loose it. It may slide down the line but then it is no different than catching something on the slider on your down rigger.
