The base defines a first feed channel formed as a first bore through the base that connects with a first end of the rope seat and a second feed channel formed as a second bore through the base that connects with a second end of the rope seat.
A rigging connector having combination hook and shackle mounting is provided. The rigging connector may include an elongate body having a central bridge portion and opposing first and second end portions extending from the central bridge portion, a securement member formed in the first end portion of the body and defining a throat opening with the central bridge portion, first and second anchor legs formed in the second end portion of the body, the first and second anchor legs defining a gap therebetween for receiving a portion of a support line, a shear pin operable to retain the support line at least partially within the gap, and a shackle mounting hole defined in the first end portion and having a center axis extending transverse to the shear pin.
