The quick release makes it easier to change the lure and ice. One end of the quick lock is tied to the line and the other end is twisted into place in a second. The design of the quick lock holds the lure well, even if the fish is reeling hard at the end of the line. Picolock is commonly used in lure fishing and ice fishing. You can tie the quick release on monofilament line with a normal lure knot, but on fiber line you must use a non-slip knot.
Quick lock sizes by fish species:
- XXS and XS Perch/Whitefish
- S and MS
