Tom Deemter is the owner of Gator Release, LLC.
Gator Release has been producing the Gator Downrigger Release for nearly 30 years with it's patented tapered nose design for simple adjustment of line tension. Others have imitated with a rounded design, but nothing gives you the precision that the original tapered design does. Gator is family owned and operated and the release is produced in West Michigan with locally made parts. No China construction. We're proud of what we produce and make sure that we put out a product we back 100%.
Our motto is "Built better to last longer" and we believe it.
