I thought best to chime in to clarify the line release question or anyone. The Rc Fishing Pole, and the Fish Fun Co. Rc Fishing Boats don't have a push button style line release system. All the Fish Fun Co. products which includes the Radio Ranger use the Velcro dot line release. I've been with Fish Fun Co. since 2008 so I would consider myself a good source if you have any questions. One thing you can consider too is that The Rc Fishing Pole will attach to any rc boat, so if you have a rc boat in mind you want to use you can. Also, worth mentioning is the Fish Fun Co. 2 year warranty any defective parts replaced free.
