VMC 7317 Texan 3X Strong Wide Gap Hook 5/0 Tin

VMC 7317 Texan 3X Strong Wide Gap Hook - strong offset hook for fishing in cover

This wide gap offset hook is built for soft plastic rigs that need dependable hook holds in weeds, timber and other snaggy areas. The 3X reinforced construction, sharp point and high-carbon steel build make the series a solid choice when you need more control over hard-fighting predators.

Built for weedless soft bait rigs

The 7317 Texan is a classic offset hook for soft plastics and creature baits. Its wide gap helps present bulkier lures cleanly and supports reliable hook-ups when fishing in structure.

3X strong wire for demanding situations

VMC specifies a 3X reinforced wire, designed for anglers who fish heavier cover and want to apply more pressure during the fight. That makes the hook line suitable for predators such as pike, zander, perch or strong black bass-style fishing where tackle strength matters.

Sharp point and corrosion-resistant finish

The hook features a very sharp, durable point and is offered here in Tin and Black Nickel finishes. Combined with the high-carbon steel construction, this supports dependable penetration and good durability in regular use.

Choosing the right variant

Choose the smaller sizes for slimmer or shorter soft plastics and step up in size for larger, bulkier baits. The finish does not change the hook concept, so your main choice is the hook size that best matches the lure profile and target species.
