Hi Ian,

Not that sort of toggle. What I mean is a little hardwood rod which you splice a line around tightly (so it can't slip out). Then you can quickly work the toggle through a loop spliced in another line, and presto! The lines are joined without a knot or a shackle. Harken is making something similar out of aluminum that they call a "Dog bone", but those are expensive and (I think) ugly. if I can find a picture of one I have made up, I'll try and post it later.
Ben
