Whetman Equipment Kraken Sea Kayak Karabiner

The Whetman Equipment Kraken, a stainless steel carabiner that is ideal for sea kayak towlines. 

Whetman Equpment has designed the kraken as a sea kayaking carabiner. This is perfect for use on sea kayak towlines and also connecting items such as a sea kayak pump securly to your kayak deck lines. The Kraken sea kayak carabiner features a stainless steel construction that is fully maintenance free. However it never hurts to rinse it in hot water and give it some love with a bit of silicone spray. This sea kayak carabiner features a low profile constuction, it then incorporates a bent gate and also a bent back bar. Both of these features make it easy to handle and also easy to clip under a kayak deck line.

It's big enough to handle with wet cold hands, slim enough to slide under tight decklines, and the wiregate is simple to use and powerful enough to remain closed during deployment.

Notice the nose is snag free to enable easy clipping and unclipping of decklines. The wiregate sits in a curved recess so that the line will not catch on the nose whilst connected.
The overall shape directs the captured line to the top of the Kraken which keeps it away from the gate.
