Our Tugline Toggle, Tug & Harness Line Combo includes a Toggle that has been fidded to a 32-inch (or custom length) Tugline and an 18-inch Harness Line. This configuration of lines allows you to use the Toggle, aka Eskimo Hook, which is a high-tech version of the traditional Inuit-based approach to hook tuglines to harnesses. It serves as an alternative to bronze or brass snaps.

Our Toggles are 4-inches wide and hand-cut from high-quality, UV-stabilized, weather-resistant, Marine-grade, black HDPE plastic. All edges and corners are rounded to minimize wear on tuglines. Toggles are designed for use with 8mm polyethylene tight-weave rope.

Please select your color of choice for the Tugline and Harness Line from the color swatch above. The Tugline is 32-inches, although you can request a custom length (see instructions below). The Harness Line is 18-inches. In combination, the Tugline and Harness Line is 50" which is the same as a standard tugline with a snap.

Instructions to Measure Centerline: To ensure perfect Tugline length, measure the distance between the inside of each end loop on your centerline. With that measurement, we can determine the proper Tugline length to work with the 18" Harness Tug Extender Line. For example, if the standard tugline you normally use is 48 inches, then your fidded Tugline will be 30 inches. This fidded Tugline plus the 18-inch Harness Line equals 48 inches total tugline length. Please note your measurement in the box above.

    Grace S. ★★★★★

    The 32-inch tugline hits the perfect length for attaching the toggle without fishing for slack, and the 18-inch harness line keeps everything snug when the dog pulls. Set it up in under a minute, and it's held tough through a week of muddy runs. Exactly what I needed for our training setup.

    Jacob Q. ★★★★★

    The toggle being fidded right onto the tugline is such a smart touch, it never slips or gets tangled while I'm hooking up. The 18-inch harness line pairs neatly with it, and the whole combo feels solid right out of the package. Exactly what I needed for my setup.

    Emma F. ★★★★☆

    The 32-inch tugline is the perfect length for quick sessions, and the toggle attachment feels solid once you get the fidded knot seated. Took a couple tries to get used to the setup, but it's held up fine so far.
