The 7286R is available in nine sizes from #1 to 10/0. Smaller sizes (#1, 1/0–3/0) suit finesse applications and smaller lures. Mid-range sizes (4/0–6/0) work well for standard hardbait presentations. Larger sizes (8/0–10/0) are built for heavy hardbaits and big predators. Match the hook size to your target species and bait weight for optimal performance.
Pack quantities vary by size: smaller sizes include more hooks (5 pieces for #1 and 1/0), mid-range sizes come with 3–4 pieces, and larger sizes include 2 pieces each. This reflects typical angling patterns where smaller hooks are used more frequently.
The ringed eye allows the hook to rotate and shift freely from the hardbait, creating a more natural swimming action. This reduces the lever effect that allows fish to break free during the fight and improves hook efficiency on short bites—especially valuable when targeting cautious predators.
The Coastal PTFE (Teflon) coating reduces friction during the strike for faster penetration and more reliable hook sets. It also provides corrosion resistance in saltwater and brackish environments, protecting the hook from oxidation and maintaining sharpness over repeated use.
The 7286R excels for pike, bass, perch, and other predatory species that attack hardbaits. The ringed design is particularly effective on species with softer mouths and active strike patterns. The Technical Locking Curve shape resists opening from strong jaw pressure, making it reliable for all aggressive predators.
Yes, the Coastal PTFE coating provides excellent corrosion resistance for saltwater applications. The hook maintains its sharpness and integrity in challenging marine environments. While designed for versatility, always rinse thoroughly with fresh water after saltwater use to extend hook life.

The VMC 7286R Techset Ringed Hook combines precision engineering with practical angling innovation. The ringed eye allows the hook to move freely from hardbaits, creating a more natural swimming action while reducing the lever forces that allow fish to shake free during the fight.
The Technical Locking Curve (TLC) shape provides exceptional resistance to hook opening and fish unhooking. This distinctive curved geometry strengthens the hook's integrity under load, making it ideal for aggressive predatory fish. The ringed design complements this strength by distributing forces more evenly across the connection point.
Each hook features a Teflon-based Coastal PTFE coating engineered for absolute penetration. This slick finish reduces friction during the strike, ensuring clean, deep hook sets even in tough conditions. The coating also provides corrosion resistance for saltwater and brackish environments.
The proprietary SuperLong Needle Sharp point offers surgical sharpness combined with enhanced durability. This specialized geometry ensures maximum penetration on soft-mouthed species while maintaining structural integrity on hard-jawed predators.
