Default To shackle or Quick Link?

Have you ever had one back off, even a tiny bit?

That said, I've been using quicklinks on jib sheets for decades and
never had a failure.


finger tight, or wrenched?

Inshore finger tight, Offshore, depends on the conditions.

We have a loop whipped or spliced on the end of the jibsheet and just
pass one quicklink thru both loops.
Saves the bulk of the usual bights or knots and they don't foul on
things when tacking or gybing.
