A hooklink and lead discharge system is disclosed having an elongate body with means for attachment to a hook line at one end, means for attachment to a rod line at the other end, and a clip arm extending alongside the body between its ends to form a clip with said body. The clip is closed at the hook line end and openable at the rod line end. The construction ensures the line does not pull through the discharge system. The means for attachment to a hook line is preferably swivelable in relation to the body.
