Two-legged bridles, whether used as chokers or with hooks or other end attachments, are affected by rigging angles. Note the reduction in rated capacity as leg angles are reduced.
Multi-legged bridles – with two, three or four straight legs – are offered with plain eyes, thimble eyes, open sockets, closed sockets, shackles or turnbuckles.
