Problem Statement

• Planer Board fishing requires a device to attach
  fishing lines to the tow line. The benefit to
  this type of fishing is the ability to have
  several lines out each side of the boat without a
  them tangling. Peglegs Clips are far more cost
  effective than the name brand Cabelas product. A
  new release clip combines low cost supplies and a
  one piece design for simplicity and durability to
  create a reliable product.

Consumer Demographics

• My product is made for both genders. It is
  designed for the serious fisherman that wants a
  dependable product to swear by. It differs from
  name brand release clips in the way each one is
  hand crafted to ensure dependability.

Materials
Why?
Clay holds ring and alligator clips snug so the
can be soldered together using a blow torch and
alloy. The rubber tubing covers the gators
teeth. Yellow mesh acts as an indicator.
Soldering makes the product a single piece for
simplicity and durability using the finest
Eutectic Alloy.
