7/16in Gator Jaw Soft Shackle Green/Black

The 7/16in Gator Jaw Soft Shackle in Green/Black by BUBBA GEAR is purpose-built recovery gear for serious off-road enthusiasts, overlanders, and vehicle recovery professionals. This soft shackle replaces traditional steel D-rings and shackles in winch systems, offering significant weight savings and safety advantages for anyone serious about vehicle recovery, trail modifications, or expedition-grade vehicle setups. Whether you're rigging recovery points on a lifted truck, trail-rated SUV, or expedition rig, this shackle delivers the reliability and performance that comes with BUBBA GEAR's field-proven design.

The Gator Jaw design features a synthetic fiber construction that eliminates the shock load hazards and injury risks associated with metal shackles under tension. At 7/16 inches, this shackle size accommodates winches in the 8,000 to 12,000 pound range, making it ideal for mid-size recovery setups on vehicles weighing 6,000 to 15,000 pounds. The green and black color scheme aids in visibility during low-light recovery operations while the integrated Gator Jaw mechanism provides a secure, reusable connection point that grips cable, rope, or synthetic line without requiring separate hardware or complex rigging.

This soft shackle performs best when installed at factory recovery points or aftermarket bumper-mounted D-ring locations on trucks, Jeeps, Land Cruisers, and similar vehicles with welded or bolted recovery infrastructure. The compact 6.95 x 2 x 7.95 inch footprint stores easily in a recovery kit bag, and at just 0.31 pounds, it reduces unsprung weight compared to steel alternatives—a meaningful advantage when managing vehicle dynamics on technical terrain. Professional recovery operators and weekend warriors alike choose BUBBA GEAR soft shackles for their durability, safety margin, and field reliability in remote and challenging recovery scenarios.
