ABSTRACT:
A clip for securing lobster trapping equipment to a buoy. The clip has an elongate tubular body through which a rope attached to a lobster trap is threaded. The rope is then threaded through a buoy loop and clipped to the outer wall of the elongate tubular body by a pair of hooks. The clipped rope extends through a slot formed between the pair of hooks. The slot has oppositely facing sets of teeth which grab the rope and prevent its release under normal rope tensions, ie rope tensions caused by the motion of the sea. However, under certain extreme rope tensions, such as a whale entangled in the rope, the teeth are specifically designed to be unable to hold the rope under the extreme tension and will allow the rope to slip back through the teeth, slot and hooks to become disengaged with the outer wall of the clip and from the buoy.
