Wichard 2-3/4" Snap Shackle w/Fixed Eye - 70mm

The Wichard 2-3/4" Snap Shackle with Fixed Eye is a marine hardware essential for anglers, boaters, and anyone who demands reliability in saltwater and freshwater environments. After years on the water, you learn that every connection point matters—whether you're rigging tackle, securing dock lines, or deploying equipment in rough conditions. This snap shackle provides the quick-connect, quick-disconnect functionality that keeps your setup flexible while maintaining the security needed when conditions change fast.

Manufactured from Grade 17.4 PH stainless steel, this HR forged shackle is built to resist corrosion and fatigue from constant use in harsh marine environments. The 70mm (2-3/4 inch) size strikes the balance most boaters need—substantial enough for meaningful loads, compact enough to integrate seamlessly into your rigging without adding bulk. The fixed eye design prevents movement and rotation under load, eliminating slack and reducing wear on connected equipment. Most critically, the captive plunger pin is mechanically locked into the hook body, preventing accidental detachment that could otherwise compromise your entire system.

Professional mariners, charter boat captains, and serious anglers rely on Wichard snap shackles for halyard attachments, tackle deployment, and load-bearing connections where both strength and operational speed matter equally. The forged construction and excellent working/breaking load ratings make this shackle suitable for systems handling significant stress—from outrigger rigging to safety equipment securing. Installation is straightforward: the fixed eye accepts any standard marine fastening method, whether bolt, screw, or welded attachment to deck hardware or equipment frames.
