Description All Nordkyn ganglines are made of hollow braid polyethylene, tougher and more flexible than polypropylene. They behave better in extreme cold, stretch less, and are mor e abrasion resistant. Heavy duty 3/4" bronze snaps come on all tugs, with lighter 1/2" snaps on necklines. All snaps are easily replaced on the trail. Center, shock, and snublines are 3/8" ; tuglines and necklines are 1/4". It is important for a dogs protection to prevent jarring occurring whenever they work in harness (apart from weightpull, which has different techniques). This shockline is suitable for teams between 1 dog and 6 dogs. A bungee or shockline is an integral part of any working kit and takes different forms depending on the activity you are pursuing. If you are running a four dog husky team on a sled, you will require a different strength bungee to running a single collie in canicross; conversely a large malamute team would need an extremely heavy duty shock.
