Embodiments of a dragline rigging can reduce the number of different parts required by including an interchangeable dragline rigging link that can be used, in different orientations, as either a hoist link or a drag link. An interchangeable dragline rigging link can include a socket connector, a dump connector, and chain connectors on either side of the link. The socket connector and dump connector can include parallel pin receiving holes, while the chain connectors can accommodate pins in a direction perpendicular to the pin receiving holes of the socket connector and dump connector. Further, the hoist assembly and drag assembly of the dragline rigging can be designed to accommodate the same size pin at a plurality of locations, in order to further increase the interchangeability of parts of the dragline rigging.
