Sea-Dog 316 Stainless Snap Hook, 2000 lb Gourd Hook
Sea-Dog 316 Stainless Snap Hook, 2000 lb Gourd Hook — Product description
Sea-Dog's 316 stainless steel snap hook is a fast, secure connection point for rigging, flag halyards, and deck work. The spring-loaded interlocking gate snaps shut on its own, and the gourd-shaped body keeps the load centered for a full 2000-pound rating. It's built to live in salt air and stay bright.
When you need to clip something on fast and trust it'll hold, this is the hook. Sea-Dog builds it from 316 stainless steel, the grade that shrugs off salt spray and stays bright season after season. The spring-loaded gate snaps shut on its own, so there's no fumbling with a latch when your hands are full or wet.
The gourd shape isn't just for looks. It keeps the load centered and away from the gate, so the hook carries its 2000-pound rating without the gate taking the strain. The eye measures 9/16 inch, big enough for most line, shackles, and thimbles you'll run through it. Gate opening is 1/2 inch, and overall length is 3-15/16 inches. Compact enough to stash in a rigging bag, big enough to grab with gloves on.
Boaters find a hundred uses for these. Flag halyards, fender lines, keeping a bucket or a bag clipped to a rail. Anywhere you want a fast, reusable connection that won't corrode. Keep a couple in the console. You'll reach for them.
