Connectors

As a premier fitting, the TYLASKA DB16 SS Dogbone serves as a static, high-strength terminal connector. It is designed to be captured within the eye splice of a rope or a soft shackle. This creates an incredibly strong, lightweight, and low-profile termination point. Its primary function is to replace metal shackles in applications where a rope-based solution provides advantages in weight, articulation, and kindness to boat surfaces. It excels in connecting lines to other hardware or creating secure loops for various rigging tasks.
