VMC 7316LD Texan Hook 1g 3/0 Black Nickel

VMC 7316LD Texan Hook — Precision-weighted offset hooks for natural soft-plastic presentation

The VMC 7316LD Leaded Texan Hook combines an optimized lead weight on the shank with the razor-sharp Needle Cone™ point to give your soft plastics the perfect swimming action and hook-setting power in weedless Texas-rig setups.

Köder-optimized lead weight for ideal action

The integrated lead weight is positioned on the shank to balance soft-plastic baits perfectly. This pre-weighting eliminates the need for external weights, keeps your profile compact, and lets creature baits, worms, and paddle-tails move naturally even in cover or along structure.

Needle Cone™ point for instant penetration

VMC's extremely sharp Needle Cone™ point pierces with minimal pressure, driving home on short-strike bass and ensuring solid hook-ups even when fish grab the tail. The black-nickel coating delivers reliable corrosion resistance for both fresh and light-brackish water.
