When a fish hits on the Free Slider, it will slide down and release the primary line from the downrigger release.

More Details:

Place the mono going to the primary lure, fastened to the downrigger release, here.
Turn the collar until the key drops into the keyway slot, opposite to the wings on the collar.
The mono will pass through this slot and spring tension will hold it.
The slots in the collar and pin allow the Free Slider to move up and down the primary line.
