Downrigger Question???

I use rubber band releases, but I have started experimenting with other releases, because the fish often don't break the rubber band (I know I should catch larger fish). To break the bands with the rod, reel down until the line is tight, and then give the rod a quick snap upwards. It is funny to watch guys trying to break those rubber bands -- it is truly amazing how strong a rubber band can be.
