VMC 7316LD Texan Hook 2.73g 2/0 Black Nickel

VMC 7316LD Texan Hook – Pre-Weighted for Effortless Rigging

The VMC 7316LD Leaded Texan Hook combines bait-optimized weighting with razor-sharp Needle Cone™ technology, eliminating the need for separate bullet weights and streamlining your soft-plastic presentations.

Integrated Lead Weight Saves Time

The 2.73 g lead shank positions weight exactly where it matters, keeping soft plastics perfectly balanced while you work through cover. No more sliding weights or tangled rigs—just thread your bait and fish.

Needle Cone™ Point Drives Home Hooksets

VMC's precision-ground Needle Cone™ point penetrates with minimal pressure, converting short strikes into solid hookups even when bass inhale your bait in heavy vegetation.

Choose the Right Variant

Match hook size and weight to your soft plastic and target depth:

• 2/0 size / 2.73 g – Finesse worms 10–13 cm, creature baits, shallow to mid-depth bass in moderate cover

• 3/0 size / 1 g – Lighter finesse presentations, pressured fish, clear water

• 4/0 size / 1.5 g – Standard stick baits and tubes 11–15 cm, all-around bass fishing

• 5/0 size / 2.2 g – Larger soft plastics 15–18 cm, deeper structure, pike and heavier cover
