Ended up buying some 5 mm static mountain climbing line good for 1035 pounds. While there I noticed the dog bone straps for four bucks so will try a couple of those with the normal downrigger style clothespin release attached to the dog bone. The dog bone slides like on ice down that mountain climbing line.

I bought a couple just to try out. That way when one releases I don't need to pull the board in. Just send another one down the line from a prestrung set up held back by a brass connect by the roof of the boat.
