A purse ring for interconnecting a purse seine to a purse line has a frame with a first roller mounted across the frame, creating a purse line passageway. The first roller permits rolling engagement with the purse line as the purse line is retrieved during seiner operations. The frame of the roller is formed with a pivotable cable release arm to permit insertion or withdrawal of the purse line from the purse line passageway. A crossbar can also be attached across the frame which forms a bridle line passageway for connecting the purse ring to a bridle line or some other means of connection to the seine. A second roller can be mounted on the crossbar to permit rolling engagement with the purse line. The frame is formed with a pair of elbows in the frame next to the first roller, creating a widening of the frame around the purse line passageway near the first roller. The frame can also be formed with a second pair of elbows in the frame next to the second roller, creating a widening of the frame around the purse line passageway near the second roller. Further, the frame can be formed with a third pair of elbows in the frame next to the second roller, creating a widening of the bridle line passageway.
