California Shank

These west coast style bits feature a high cheek-to-shank ration that reduces signal. The headstall and rein rings are mounted on a straight line with the mouthpiece- hence they are called "straight-hangers". When a horseman touches the reins, the command is instantaneous. These bits are often more ornate and used for experienced, well-trained, seasoned horses that know how to work in the arena.
