Product Specifications
The advantages of winching with a screw pin shackle over a conventional winch hook are many:
- Screw pin shackles are up to 5X stronger than conventional winch hooks
- Conventional hooks are too small to safely fit both ends of a recovery strap
- Recover straps cannot slip out of a shackle like they can with hooks
- Hook safety latches are not rated for loads and can tear recovery straps
- Conventional hook surfaces add higher stresses to recovery strap fibers, resulting in decreased strap ratings
- Shackles can be quickly removed and stowed away until needed for winching.
- Hooks do not cinch neatly against fairleads and are prone to rattling and loosening
- Conventional winch hooks are designed for chains – not commonly used recovery straps
- Engineered, Tested, and Made in USA — Patent Pending
- Stress analyzed using COSMOS FEA and destructively tested for confirmation
- Billet construction — precision machined from 6061-T6 Kaiser Aluminum round bar
- 16,000 pound max load rating

We ran a prolink on the front of our ULTRA4 car for 3 years before upgrading to an Ultrahook. The Prolink is very practical and strong! Ours has been smashed on, dropped and drug through the rocks and dirt. Winched from it many times and when paired with a soft shackle it’s hard to beat!

Looks great, made from aircraft aluminum, hard to believe its as strong as they say it is because its incredibly lighter than I thought it would be. It cleans up the front of my fairlead; no more dangling hook attached to an adjacent D-Ring, just this nice looking shackle mount centered instead. I must add that the color I chose (green) is my favorite shade of green and the paint job is excellent. Its expensive but it gives you a more refined look on the front of your Jeep all the while maintaining the ruggedness. I’m deducting a star because I believe they should be selling these for a few bucks less.

If you have a winch then this is a must, it not only looks better than a hook but it performs better than one! They are a little pricey being aluminum, but then you get what you pay for.

This is a terrific shackle mount. I used to leave a bit of line unspooled so the winch hook to attach to the bumper. This eliminates the need for any line to be exposed and rattles from the winch hook. Jeep looks a bit like Rudolph, but I’ll take the trade off.
