Described is a multi-roller snap ring with one or more rollers extending
across a space defined by a frame and one or more rollers integrated
within the frame of the snap ring. The multiple rollers reduce and
mitigate the frictional wear and tear caused by a purse line being drawn
through the snap ring during purse seine deployment and retrieval
operations. In addition, a locking mechanism with a spring-loaded,
sliding and rotating lock forming a portion of the frame and a stopper
tab are disclosed.
