Shockles Line Snubber™ Features
SHOCKLES are strong, light, easy to rig and use, and best of all, they save wear and tear on your boat.
SHOCKLES are made from the toughest U.S made shock cord, and covered with 100% nylon webbing for complete sun and abrasion resistance from end to end. Our patented 'progressive' design means that the further the Shockle is stretched, the more tension it provides. For the first 5" of stretch, it only takes 75# to stretch it. For the next 9" the tension becomes greater, taking up to 150# to fully stretch it.
Our custom 316 stainless steel, marine-grade carabiners at either end are strong and corrosion resistant. The modified "D" shape means two things: 1) The stress is taken on the spine so that the spring-loaded gate can easily be opened even under tension. 2) The shape allows for a wider gate opening allowing use on larger lines. In addition, they are a 'captive' design, meaning you can never lose them off the end of the Shockle.
Patented SHOCKLES are tested to over 2,500 lbs. breaking strength and will stretch to 80% of their static length. They come in either Royal Blue or Jet Black. Keep your boat safe and shock-free with SHOCKLES.
