A connection device is provided for removably connecting an article to a tie-down cleat having a pair of opposed horns each with each horn having a free end. The articles can be ropes, straps, bungee cords, netting, covers, wraps, accessories, and the like. The connection device includes a body having a pair of horn openings each configured for receiving one of the opposed horns therein. The horn openings are coaxial and spaced apart a distance less than a distance between the free ends of the horns. At least a portion of the body is formed of an elastic material so that the body can be resiliently stretched for selectively inserting the opposed horns into the horn openings to secure the connection device to the tie-down cleat and resiliently stretched for selectively removing the opposed horns out of the horn openings to remove the connection device from the tie-down cleat.
