TRE soft shackle question

[Modoc Guy]

Just got my new soft shackle in the mail and I was wondering what the thread loop was coming out of the main loop, a release pull?

its to help release the bight on the knot

Yup. To release. When they're new it's irrelevant, but once you get some use on them it sets them apart from other brands.

Thanks guys! That’s what I thought it was, just making sure.
