Engineered for marine performance, the Barton High Load Eye 6mm Bore is manufactured from marine-grade aluminum with a hard HV500 anodized finish. The result is an exceptionally strong, lightweight high-load eye designed to withstand on-board rigging demands while reducing wear and maintaining smooth operation on deck.
Available in six sizes, this high-load eye covers a wide range of uses aboard. The smallest size accepts a 3mm line with a bullseye diameter of 6mm, while the largest size accepts a 16mm line with a bullseye diameter of 28mm.
