VMC 7316 Texan 1X Strong Wide Gap Hook 1 1.52g 5pcs Black Nickel

VMC 7316 Texan — Versatile wide-gap hook for weedless rigging

The VMC 7316 Texan is a forged 1X strong worm hook with a wide gap design, perfect for rigging slugs, worms, finesse lures and creature baits. Its black nickel coating and robust construction make it a reliable choice for demanding softbait presentations.

Wide gap for bulky softbaits

The generous gap accommodates thicker-bodied lures while ensuring solid hooksets. The wide-gap geometry keeps the hook point positioned for optimal penetration, even when rigging larger profile baits like creature baits or chunky worms.

Forged steel construction

Forged from high-carbon steel and finished with a black nickel coating, the 7316 Texan delivers dependable strength and corrosion resistance. The forged wire provides 1X extra strength without excessive weight, making it suitable for both freshwater finesse and light saltwater applications.
