A break-away release link that is used as an attachment to at sea fixed gear commercial fishing. The break-away release link is designed to break away at a designated tensile strength when undersea creatures become entangled with this type of commercial fixed fishing gear. The break-away release link attachment can be used in any commercial fishing industry such as lobster, crab, finfish, or other types whereas fixed gear, such as lobster traps or gillnets that are placed upon the ocean floor and are attached by a buoy rope to a surface buoy for retrieval at some later time by the fisherperson. The break-away release link is designed to break away at a tensile strength of between 600 and 3,000 pounds so that sea going creatures who becomes entangled with the buoy rope can easily part the rope and escape serious injury and or death when they are endangered.
