VMC 7118 Hook 6/0 5pcs BN

VMC 7118 Octopus Specimen Hook 6/0 — Built for Heavy-Duty Live Bait Fishing

The VMC 7118 in size 6/0 delivers the strength and reliability you need when targeting specimen fish in fresh and saltwater. Its black nickel coating resists corrosion while the octopus bend and long shank ensure secure bait presentation and positive hook sets.

Heavy-Duty Construction for Big Fish

Engineered for demanding live bait applications, this hook handles powerful species like cod, grouper, and catfish. The robust wire diameter and octopus pattern provide exceptional holding power, while the black nickel finish offers excellent corrosion resistance in both marine and freshwater environments. Each hook features VMC's Premium Needle Sharp point that penetrates quickly and stays sharp longer.

Long Shank Design for Better Bait Presentation

The extended shank allows natural movement of live baits and improves leverage during hook sets. This design also makes hook removal easier and safer, reducing handling time when you need to release fish. The octopus bend positions the point for optimal penetration angle, increasing your landing rate on specimen fish.
